Tell me more about what you could tell from observing their wake. How

I was also wondering by how much they exceeded the hull speed, I could
tell 
by the wake that they were easily overrunning their bow wake, indicated 
they were well above their hull speed.  I did not have a calculator
handy 
and you just answered my question with your posting.
