Here's a link to an op-ed piece about the philosophy of slow-boating.

Nice wordsmithing, Chuck.....

I run the Queen the same way. Although her brace of 318s will plane her
nicely and top out at about 27kt when asked (2-3 times per summer, for
medicinal purposes only), she spends the great preponderance of her waking
hours at about 8kt or so. These engines are happy as a clam running all day
at about 1800 rpm, and that's exactly what they do.
