Just a FYI keep ya speed down in marina (nelson) as its becoming an issue (apparently people can't work out what "5 knots" actually is never mind "3 knots" and "no wake zone" apparently there may be some "fine" times soon

we see it all from workmate. 30 knots towing a ski in the channel is not unusual

I regularly get overtaken heading in by the layup wharf and in towards Talleys.....I generally sit at 5-6 gpsd Knots while some go past almost on the plane and others actually planing!

3 knots is a bit gay most larger boats wont even idle that slow but the point is to create as little wake as possible.

I agree and 3 knots in only in the marina 'proper" was working on the pilot boat today and they were saying the issue is about to be addressed by the harbour master no more warnings apparently.
