Is anyone else getting as frustrated as I am trying to navigate thru the Weirs Channel at 1- 2 mph? Getting a large boat thru there on a windy day at 1- 2 mph is very difficult. The no wake zones are designed for "headway speed" and for many boats that means 5 or 6 mph. I have even seen marine patrol boats "putting along" thru the channel with no one in front of them and a long line of boats behind them. They should be helping the situation by controling the flow of boats thru the channel not tying it up.
