6 mph is 6 mph. It's enforceable.

The minimum speed to maintain steerage in no wind is 0. I can keep my boat in a fixed position with no problem, as can most boats. Under Airwaves definition, if I want to go through a "no-wake" zone, I'd have to slip it in and out of gear (or paddle it) to barely perceptably move my boat through the area with no ripples.

What is a wake? My canoe makes a wake. Is the wake the sign talking about 1", 2", 4", 6", 2 feet?

I guarantee no boat on this lake makes 1' waves at 6 mph. There is a wake at 6 mph, but nothing that would cause any harm.

I still stand by the interpretation that "or" is to cover hard to control situations and as skip said, better have a good defense.
