Passed you, NH

Did you see us yesterday, NH?  How fast do you think I was going?

A very good question.

Yes, I saw you, and gave a hearty wave. You were going at the same speed as the boat.

 

A very good answer.

OK...I'd guess 35-MPH?

It's not easy when viewing from a moving boat.

 

Perfect! I am impressed. I saw your wave, hope you saw mine.

Yes, I saw your wave. Thanks for passing aft of me. It makes for a smoother management of wakes.

I'm a pretty good judge of speed, honed by decades on the ROAD race track. Even with leaving the "Straights" behind us, we seldom hit speeds over 120, and often need to slow to 20-MPH to manage the hairpin turns. We always have to judge the competition's (faster) approach at the end of the straight, then brake accordingly to stay ahead before the checkered flag.

I thought of breaking the speed limit just to impress you, but decided not to.
