Is 70 days as long as The Voyage of the Mayflower?

It's about one-and-one-tenth times as long as The Voyage of the Mayflower
The length of The Voyage of the Mayflower is about 66 days.
(1620)
Having left Southampton, England on September 16th (new style), 1620, the Mayflower dropped anchor near Cape Cod, Massachusetts 66 days later on November 21st (new style), 1620. The voyagers had planned to travel in a convoy of two ships, but the smaller Speedwell was found to be leaking (evidently as a result of sabotage) and all passengers had to be moved to the Mayflower instead.
