Boat Arrival Times

[Crookstinger]

Here are the data I found if you are interested. As I mentioned I left a newbie dwarf on the boat from about 11PM one evening to about 4:30PM the next day, which was 32 complete round trips.

Travel time in OoT: (in mm:ss)
Min: 13:41
Max: 14:04
Avg: 13:45

The max was an outlier, and without it, all times were within 4 secs of the average.

Travel time in EFP:
Min: 2:46
Max: 2:51
Avg: 2:50

The min here was a tad low, and without it all times were within 1 sec of the average.

Travel time in BB:
Min: 2:11
Max: 2:35
Avg: 2:32

The min here was an outlier, and without it all times were within 3 secs of the average.

Round trip time:
Min: 32:46
Max: 32:53
Avg: 32:50

Travel times were consistently within 4 seconds of the average for the round trip. One other detail I noticed is that the really high OoT crossing time (14:04) was followed immediately by the really low BB crossing time (2:11). So I think in that one instance, it just took me longer to zone into BB than normal and the two times on either side of the zone reflected that.

Using this data, I attempted to create a calculator that, for any given known zoning time of day, could predict zoning times for the near future. As I mentioned, it seemed reasonably accurate within a day or so, but beyond that, either zone lag or the slightly inconsistent zone times, or both, caused the predictions to fail to line up with the real times of day.
