I wasn't in a hurry to go anywhere but it's not like I'm in a lunch line either. I was going my speed, he was going his. No harm, no fowl.

I would agree that the area around the NASWA is sufficiently, wide enough that you could pass easily...however nearer the bridge is a much different story.
BTW each time I have been in the Weirs Channel this summer I have had to take my boat out of gear to maintain and not run up the aft of whomever was in front of me. I would imagine boats to my aft did the same.
That said, the only reason I would pass anyone is if they were stopped or addressing some other issue and not underway...otherwise, relax and enjoy the sights!
