 Andy, I can swim 400 in less than five minutes, ten times, and I can not PULL 
on an anchor line in 4 knots - tried it and can't do it. Can barely do it in 
three, don't like in in two, and one knot would blow most of these guys away.
My 
scooters run about two knots, by way of comparison.

 The Gulf Stream rarely even hits 3.5 knots, and where we are, it tends to
surge 
and eddy, maybe giving the four I sayw on my instruments . I still would
believe 
that it was only 3.5.

  Remember , in a pool, we are on  top of the water to get the big speed, not 
really in it all the way.

  You are right about the exaggeration on current.
