    If the distance of a roadway and traffic speed was known, or a sidewalk and duration a person in GIF walked that distance; it could be approximated... I settled for watching prop wash of larger ferries dissipate; sort of. Easiest might be using a known ferry schedule, for an individual vessel to complete a round trip. Another might trace one shadow of sunlight.
    I'm guessing it's not less 25-30 minutes of real time.

    My frame of mind went elsewhere.
