Ineresting situation when river in flood
On our river we have a number of liveaboards who do not move, (state of their boats they will never move again, apart from vertically down). So on Sunday I managed to upset one or 2. Not only me thought, about 1/2 mile ahead was another baot with the same issue. To make headway you have to run to a given speed.
Returning down stream you have the opposite problem, tickover on my engines, and I was running at 7 knots over ground, but the hull speed through the water was 2 knots, zero wake.
Just food for thought.
