I’d lowball it at two-and-a-half weeks. Tortuga’s off Haiti’s northern coast, so there’s quite a bit of travel time in there. Isla de Muerta must be way the hell in the middle of nowhere for _Interceptor_ to get there in time for Elizabeth not to get killed.

Now that I look at the map again, two-and-a-half weeks is like if the ships had warp engines. I’m bad at gauging speeds and distances, but this should be a summer-long escapade at least.
