    I thought this might clarify things a bit! 91F8909F-59C1-4C74-A0B1-A3068F5E0DE9.jpeg

    That osprey nest really seems to be moving.

    What do you suppose Hull Speed is on those deer?

    Hull speed? I estimate their length at 2.2 meters so the square root is 1.483 X 2.8 gives 4.15 mph. Of course a clever deer could use it's snout like a wave piercing bow so this figure may not be the whole truth. ;)

    Since the deers in displacement-mode are submerged till their neck the waterline is the length of the neck which may be something around 30 cm. The hull speed for this Lwl is ca. 1.33 kn.

    Take two deers next to each other connected with beams and you'll get a SWATH.

    Actually I'm not a native english speaker and I'm sorry I didn't understand the six bucks joke, @fallguy maybe you want to explain it to me? :D

    I notice one of them at least has his port side running light, I wonder if he has a green one on starboard?

    It does look like that Ospray is going for the speed record. Probably name something like the Nest IV. Just as long as it keeps periodic contact with the water, it might count.

    The English language is a curious thing, a buck is a male deer, but also a slang word for a $1 bill.
    It can also mean to go against something, as to buck the current.

    The 5th one is a planing deer.
