I suppose I could drop a bouy and then another and make the run.

Now that I think about it all I really want is to know the proper RPM to acheive hull speed thru slack water.
The distance doesn't really matter that much.
what I have been doing is to try and keep a speed of 7.4 knts regardless of hull speed. By doing this I sometimes run at a higher RPM to maintain that speed which is not hull speed it is speed over ground.
