If you re in a NWZ, it is obvious where you are, and it's an easy stop/ticket.
I note that prevailing winds coming from the NW lead to some good sized waves squeezing between Pig and Lockes, and depending on your course may give some difficulty to a boat trying to go <6 kts.
A 50-meter rule is found elsewhere, and be more prevalent than one may think:
