On Day 2 and 4 travel back to the start {using the 1 taken for 1 day's travel}

On Day 5 travel to Point 1 {use 1 and have 3 to leave}

On Day 6 you are Point 1 with 7 days worth of water. Take 4 and travel to Point 2. {Take 4, use 1, and leave 2}

On Day 7, return to Point 1{Take 1, use 1}.

On Day 8, travel to Point 2 {Take 3, use 1}

On Day 9 you are at Point 2 with 4 day's worth of water to get out on Day 12.
