I have a different boat now and don't go into the channel often, but I was happier when headway speed had a "not to exceed 6 mph" component. Small boats with small propellers go so slow that they block traffic and make it extremely difficult for larger vessels to maintain control. Especially difficult near Thurston's and the bridge when the current is strong.
