The Graveyard
I usually go through at a normal cruising speed (25-30 mph). There is plenty of room for two boats passing each other. However, if someone is coming the other way, and they slow down, I usually slow down too. I figure if they are nervous or anxious about going through the Graveyard, I do not want to add to their anxiety. Obviously, two boats passing by at cruising speed are violating the 150 foot no wake rule; however, it is one of those traditions that has been done since I can remember.
It is interesting that on the Intercoastal, boats pass each other all the time at relatively high speeds with not much room between them. I guess it comes down to what you're use to.
