In your photo your going against a current in one direction and with it in another so do two comparison photos but be in the same exact location and both in the same exact direction for a more accurate reading.

Believe me. I hit
"Maximum range at current speed" button for several
hundred times each patrol. On this patrol my max. range at steady speed 9 kts is
always 33000 nm
minus fuel I've already depleted. Again, it's not about current and not about time compression, it's not because of changing speed and not because of UFO atack. I've already mentioned it above.

Sorry, but we've already discussed how weather or battery charging can affect maximum range calculation.
The truth is out there...
