Rauros added, taking a more careful look at the map:

"Captain... Taking a look at the map... We won't be able to make the
way in two weeks. In two weeks we will be as far as the south of
Periannathand*."

Gildor:

"Well noticed again, Rauros", Gildor made a gesture again, so that
Rauros showed the map to Ragnor. "And how long will we take, if we take
the straightest way?"

Rauros:
"Let see, through the Green Way, and then along this river..."

Gildor:
"Gwathlo, the Grey River."

Ragnor:
"Right!, the one that goes out to the Sea south of Minhiriath..."

Rauros, counting with his fingers, and making calculations:
"One month and a half!"

Gildor:
"Are you used to navigate, ay?"

Ragnor and Rauros, together:
"YYeess!"

Gildor:
There are no mountains through the waters... Because of the crossing,
we will take two months."

Rauros:
"O, it's like going around coral rocks..."

Ragnor:
"Or like when we have no winds from the east, and we have to oar."

Gildor, smiling:
"Yes, h-h-, it will bi a bit like both situations, by then, I
believe!..." Then he spoke, in serious tone, "I believe we will be able
to be there by the 20th Ringare**."
