    Forgot to add that was via Suez Canal and if you didn't see land must have been the Cape, then distance is 10,740 nautical miles with G A S of 7.99kts

    Can't find my notes but apart from UK to Gulf ports (via Cape), longest without berthing was probably Latakia, Syria to Freeport, Bahamas.

    This was via the Cape, hence no land

    When I first came on thi site I posted a thread requesting how long it would it take from Rio Grand Del Sol to Yokohama a long old voyage on one of Chatty Chapmans trampers the Lynton ,somebody on the site worked it at appx 61days at 8 knots .We ended up on the old lime juice every day ,the water was the colour of Brown ale but didn't taste like it,we ended up eating different concoction of porridge oats mixed with God knows what .I believe the voyage was over 12000 thousand miles believe it or not there was never a wrong word among the crowd ,mostly Geordies,a great set of lads .Has anyone aboard been at sea longer.it

    That was probably me (but then perhaps not, as 8000 of my posts disappeared into the ether) if I recall correctly you stopped somewhere in Borneo but couldn't remember which part and I gave you the Lat/Long of the port

    On a Houlders Ship November/December 1979

    Dunster Grange carrying grain; Bahia Blanca Argentina to Kagoshima Japan via Magellan Straits. I was R/O.

    10394nM according to Sea-Distances.org and taking about 30 days 22hrs according to them but made longer (to about 34 days IIRC) due to waiting off the
    entrance to the strait for the correct tide conditions for the old man to start taking us through, and the ship having to stop engines every Sunday AM
    (Unofficially) to clean something out in the Engine Room. Some anxious moments when the time came to start the engine when in mid Pacific....

    Cheers,

    David Casey

    Kingston upon Hull to Melbourne, via Port said and not a bottle of port on board.
    But the beer was ice cold in Melbourne.
    Happy daze John in Oz.
