Mayflower
From everything I have read they didn’t despair. It took three months in a small ship for the 60 Pilgrims to reach Massachusetts and they were blown off course by a storm.
In 1620 it took 3 months to reach North America from England so they had to time their trip for the best weather.

The two original Pilgrim ships that traveled to the New World were the Speedwell and Mayflower. Both set sail for the New World on August 15, 1620, but were forced back twice due to dangerous leaks on the Speedwell. The Speedwell's passengers regrouped on the Mayflower, and on September 16th, the voyage began, a month behind schedule.
