But did you take into account the size of the ship itself that would be used? Would there be room for your character, the gator, the crew, any other passengers, plus any supplies needed? What about food? How much does the gator need to eat? What will your character do if it decides to eat the crew in order to supplement its diet? After all ship rides can take months and so you need food enough to cover the whole trip while you are at sea and can't simply hunt. Then there is the thought that ships don't just leave every single day but schedule days to leave ports so you will want wiggle room for that as well just to caution on the side of realism. Also currency isn't something really used on this side of the world but is more of a European thing. This side still mainly uses the barter system so the idea of wealth fluctuates depending on what is needed and who possesses it. So I really wouldn't work the wealth aspect because of that. But that is my personal take on it since there isn't a set system in place. Then once you get in you have to consider travel time. You aren't making a week from the time of the port to even the 'Souls area. You come up from northern US and that is already 18 days, so there goes your week and then some. Not to mention you have to factor in near about another day to travel across Nova Scotia to where Anathema is at. And that is only at the pace that a luperci can go. So depending on the speed that the gator can travel that may end up taking even longer.
