It's really funny to me, because I have always looked at headway speed as a maximum speed of 6 MPH or the slowest speed at which steerage can be maintained. Maybe the slowest speed is 3, maybe 4, maybe 5. It depends on conditions such as wind or current. (I know, the word maximum is not in the definition.

At 6 MPH, my 25 ft Mariah bowrider throws a noticeable wake.

As a result, I do all that is possible to not throw a wake in a NWZ. And if I am holding any of you up by going too slow and not making a wake, I apologize in advance.
