That's why I rarely go through said channel. This Sun after gassing up @ Anchor and seeing little traffic, I headed out through the channel. Coming offplane to allow the classic aft cabin cruiser followed by a PWC to proceed ahead of me, I was passed by bowrider at full mushing speed and 50'-75' distant just before I got to the markers. He cleared the channel only to have someone going the opposite direction blast by all of us (PWC, me and bowrider). Usually I do the zig-zag past Stonedam and Pitchwood and now I am reminded why again.
ps - No torpedoes, I vote twin 50's instead. Same ammo for both land and lake !
