Been down on my sailboat where the boat really can't faster than the slow speeds posted for no wake. So I never noticed if there are sections where you go significantly faster than 6kts, and if so, how fast, and roughly what % of the trip from say MD to FL can you do that?
Starting in NE it is about 1500 mi to MIA. On LI sound you can go fast, down the coast to Jersey you can go fast, but once you get inside, I know things change. So that leaves 1000 mi. In the fall bringing the boat down, we have maybe 10-11 hrs of moving time, so I made 60mi a day. If I could do 15kts, that would be 150 mi a day and make the trip significantly shorter.
