Hog's Fjord

The DM: Following delays and discussion, the players set out at 8 a.m. aboard Engelhart's boat (does it have a name I've missed)? As 4 hours pass, bringing you 4 miles out of Stavanger, the wind stiffens a bit more and a bit more, until after noon it opens into a light breeze, swinging around from the northwest now, so that it is hitting the boat abeam, forcing you to tack back and forth. The clouds have broken up and are light and fluffy, appearing to be thinning.

If you were heading south, you'd be making better time. At 2 p.m., six miles out of Stavanger and halfway towards Jorpeland, it has come the point where you need to head straight towards Jorpeland or turn to the east into Hog's Fjord, for that hex you indicated before. With this wind, you'd be reaching towards it, meaning you'd get the best speed out of your boat, making 2 miles an hour; you judge the distance to be about six miles to the southeast and then 12 to the east. With this wind, you could do that in about 9 hours.
