Default Flow through the Weirs Channel

Last week before they slowed the discharge to about 2000 CFPS from 2500 CFPS, the current in the Weirs channel was very strong and some bigger boats were having a hard time maintaining control going with the flow when smaller boats ahead of them were going very (too) slow. As I was heading towards the Weirs, a 34 foot crusier coming towards me got almost completely sideways and was out of control for 20 to 30 seconds. No contact, but almost a four boat collision.

The reduced flow helps that situation.
