Ill agree thats one place some people go too slow ..With the current in there you have to keep it headway speed which is not the same for all boats..Ive gone around many people in there only because I could not maintain steerage. Then they start shouting and using hand gestures because they are real friendly and understanding like the folks on Bear island
