I assume you mean we have 7 days go get them from BA to Miami?? When does the 7 days start?? By a quick quesstimation it is somewhere around 7,600 miles to sail around the Horn to get to BA. Now the difficult I can do right away. Miracles take a little longer. But even at our normal RED button speed of 50 knots, it will take over 6 days to get to BA. The 7 days then to Miami is no sweat. That's only 7,000 miles further. (We'd have to consult with Tmac if Warp drive was needed !!)

Might I suggest that we rather offer the Agent a discount of 25% and contract to take 14 days from BA to Miami, (call it a young age discount if they are all under 30??)
