I don't know how it is in other parts of the world but I had a great demonstration of why I like travelling at trawler speeds this weekend.
Went to a get together over the long weekend here in BC and out of about 38 boats, 4 had prop and hull damage from hitting logs in the water. All of the damaged boats were travelling a lot faster then I was. In fact one went by at probably twice my speed not long before hitting a log he could not see.
So better fuel economy and less risk from deadheads, works for me.
Reinforces my mantra of slow is the way to go.
