After missing yesterdays downwinder, bugger!! I went for a 6km paddle from Sorento Caravan Park to the point at Portsea and used my Paddle Logger to get some details. So for 6km I had an average speed of 4.53kph in choppy cross wind conditions and waves coming from all directions around the docked ferry from Queenscliff and a max speed of 9.39kph cruising back with the wind at my side and back. It says my pace was 13.14min per Km.

Once I had a rest I did a 2.2km when the wind died down a bit then averaged 4.62kph and a top speed of 13.52kph and a drop to 12.59 min per km.
Not sure if these figures are ok or not but its good to have a starting point to refer to and compare when conditions are calmer.
