$A$ man can row a boat at a speed of $8\, km/h$ in still water. He was rowing the boat downstream from one point to another. After travelling half of the distance,the motor of the boat failed. He continued to drift along the stream and reached his destination,taking $6\, hours$ more than the usual time. The speed of the stream is $2\, km/h$. What is the total distance between the two points in $km$?
