Question

7.Read the following passages carefully and answer the questions given :Smarks
In July 1976, my wife Mary, son Jonathan 6, daughter Suzanne 7, and I set sail from Plymouth,
England, to duplicate the round-the-world voyage made 200 years earlier by Captain James
Cook. For the longest time, Mary and I-a 37-year-old businessman had dreamt of sailing
in the wake of the famous explorer, and for the past 16 years we had spent all our leisure time
honing our seafaring
skills in British waters.
Our boat Wavewalker, a 23 metre, 30 ton wooden-hulled beauty, had been professionally built,
and we had spent months fitting it out and testing it in the roughest weather we could find.
The first leg of our planned three-year, 105,000 kilometre journey passed pleasantly as we
sailed down the west coast of Africa to Cape Town. There, before heading east, we took on two
crewmen -Amercian Lany Vigil and Swiss Herb Seigler -- to help us tackle one of the world's
roughest seas, the Southerli Indian Ocean.
On our second day out of Cape Town, we began to encounter strong gales. For the next few
weeks, they blew continuously. Gales did not worry me; but the size of the waves was alarming
- up to 15 metres, as high as our main mast.
Q. 1. How much distance did the voyagers propose to cover in their journey?
