That's an awful lot of speed. Can you describe the conditions, and the boat?
Speed is important to get away from weather. I averaged 4 knots over approximently 4k miles. Not to mention get to your destination sooner, so you can spend more time there. I was left out in bad weather when boats averaging 6 knots were comfy in an anchorage already
