The last time that I checked, the distance from Bermuda to the BVIs was
about 800 nm. Glancing at a chart, I'd guess that it's about the same, or
longer, from Miami to Bermuda, or a total of 1600+ NM.
I didn't think that the t***** path was 1200 miles, and that's probably
even a bit short with tacking, but it's definately not 2400 miles.
