Frank,
Nice example and detective work.
Yes, I missread May 14th's latitude. I should have figured out there was a big mistake when the distance sailed in a day was so unreasonable.
A "New England" destination implies concetutive days sailing puts them on a NNW heading and not SSW as my interperation suggests.
On Day 634, their latitude is a little north of Cape Canaveral, Florida.
