Without going into such nautical stuff as Knots, chains and fathoms, a
sailing ship might reach around 20km/h in good conditions (more or less
depending on lots of stuff). A square is around 45km, so it's about 2hrs
across by boat.
It's about 18 squares between n0w6 and n5e3, or about 3 days sailing. The
thing to watch out for is not coming to close to the mist, it affects
compasses dramatically.
