"Chief Divine's guidance! Zuwaro, Grandmother Island is in the northwest from here. For the Unanga's small boats, it would take at least seven days to row, which is about over seven hundred li in distance!... "
"Chief Divine's protection! Seven hundred li... If the longship rows at full speed, maybe it will only take four days!... "
"But... distance isn't the biggest problem! The biggest problem is that on the route to Grandmother Island, there are no intermediary islands, nor any navigational markers... The longship could easily get lost and lose its bearings!... "
"Miki, no matter what, I want to try! We've heard clear rumors of the New Continent, and we have the sea charts from Your Majesty's divine revelation! Before the freeze sets in, within this last half-month window, I must make a determined effort to sail west!... "
