What is the normal boat speed? (I’m not a boater.)

Depends on the size of the boat and the HP of the motor, plus the conditions of the sea.

Usually people will cruise at 25-30 knots in a 30-40 ft boat in calm seas.................

Are all the whales deaf now from wind turbines? I suppose obamacare doesn't cover hearing aids for leviathans.

Is it possible to water ski at 10 knots? Could you even pull yourself up out of the water going that slow?

My stepdad used to take us water skiing when I was a teen, but I never knew what speed he went. I never even thought about that, until I read this article. I know 10 knots is equivalent to 11.5 mph on land, but I still don’t know how fast we went while skiing. Hmm. So long ago. Was I ever really that young?
