Technically... You are allowed 6 MPH before you break any rules/before the NHMP can do a thing.
Try getting thru the Weirs Channel on a busy Saturday morning... 1 boat going dead slow causes a major backup. The guys behind him are forced to shift in and out of gear all while fighting a current....

I agree the law is not written very well. However, I wish you would talk to the Capt. of MP because he told me making a wake IS breaking the law and NHMP DOES take people to court and they win.
Obviously in a channel like the Weirs everybody is breaking the law and your point is taken.
