Travel Pace and the Size of the World

Because i keep changing it. Dumb Rosa
So from now on!:
* An average day of travelling overland would be 25 miles. 
** This included 8 hours of travel, downtime, and rest before exhaustion kicked in. So, just over 3 miles per hour.
* An average day of sailing on calm waters with average wind would be 100 miles. For an average large sailing ship.
** This included being able to sail at normal speed for 12 hours, but pulling in sail during the night, reducing speed to about 1/3rd.
** During the day, their speed averaged 5 knots, allowing for 75 miles of fast travel.
** During the night, their speed averaged 2 knots, allowing for 25 miles of careful travel
* It takes 45 days to travel along and around Toril's equator by sea, or it would be 180 days on foot (if you could walk on water, cough, monks).
*Toril's circumference is just over 4,500 miles.
