If you had to crawl the ditch anyplace like most of us back East....6 knots is all you can do without the whole world whining about your wake....

Sure you can run the ocean...but at that point sell the boat and take cruise ships...cheaper in the long run and you don't have to cook!

I can relate to going slow or fast...you have some big territory out there and currents that make 6.5 knot boats a drag I'm sure. Back East...do more than 50 miles a day and your missing 1/2 the interesting stuff anyhow..so it's not so bad..plus creeping along between all the idiots keeps the stress manageable till happy hour....
