    18.5 to 19kts at 1950 RPM. I usually run at that speed between after clearing in Cat Cay into the NWC to shave a few hours and then slow back down to 12kts to save fuel. We should get to Staniel around 11Pm passing south of NP and almost straight across the Exuma Bank

    first time towing the Whaler 35. We burn about 10-12% more fuel
