Without doing any math or scientific analysis...

I usually go through the channel comfortably at about 800 RPM to maintain no wake.

Went through about 1:30 AM on Friday night/Saturday morning and was at about 1400 RPM just to get 2.4 knots (about 2.75 MPH). I've never seen the current flowing like it was last night.

That pretty much duplicates my experience as I normally go through at around 1000 RPM and today I needed around 1600, exactly the same difference in RPM as you.

I too have never seen the channel flowing as fast as today.
