Actually Skip,I'l; disagree a little bit with you.Relative to the water,the speed against the flow could be more than 6mph.Relative to the land it might be a lot less.I think going with the tidal flow would actually require a higher speed relative to the land to maintain control.
This brings up an interesting question.If speed on water is clocked with radar guns it would be relative to the land.If I'm going with the tidal flow and look at my speedo which is based on water flowing by the boat,my speedo might say I'm going 25mph while a radar gun has me at 35mph.Interesting angle that I had not thought about before.
