From the April 2005 issue of Boating magazine:
“We’re going to be in Palm Beach by three o’clock,” the guy tells me. I don’t believe it for a second. That’s a 60-mile run, and I can see white foam blowing off the top of four-footers. We’d have to top 30 mph while facing a quartering head sea during the entire cruise. I’ll run the boat as fast as I feel comfortable with, sure, but as we approach open water, I’m guessing that’ll be between 20 and 25 mph.
