No. The "coastal crawl" refers to diagonal coastlines. So in this
case (a horizontal coastline), you have to sail s, e, n for a total of
7 days.

If it were a diagonal coastline, then sailing to land and on is 4 days
while sailing to the ocean and on is 6 days:

7
67
dj s.
dk ..

If I am in dk76 and "sail n; sail e" that's 4 days.
If I am in dk76 and "sail e; sail n" that's 6 days.
