Wow Dan, That's 6.4 knots--very fast. Especially for a SOF. Is that a peak speed, or a sustained speed, over distance or time? Even in a short burst that's terrific.

I feel you on the cramps on your cramps. I hope when my narrow yak is finished I will either be more comfortable or be able to still do cat stretches like I can in my Great Auk.

: sustained but with no wind or wave help and generally faster
: than the group. I have to learn to stretch though, I got cramps
: in my cramps after several hours.
