No wake means no wake regardless of who is around.

And what's the rush? Are the 30 seconds you save making that much of a difference? I'm wondering if you're the guy that I observed leaving Smith Cove last weekend in full animated fluster at having to follow the boat in front of him making "no wake". As soon as there was a break in the oncoming traffic, up went the bow and a wake to follow while passing the lead boat in what must have been an undeclared race to be first to the NWZ buoy. Relax already...
