I am usually on plane approaching the no wake buoy. To spend as little time as possible at headway speed I make sure to be way over to the island side of the channel which makes me pass the buoy very closely.
As a result I don't get out in that uncertain area toward Trexler's gas dock. If I end up in there somehow I go headway though. I go slow for 2 reasons. 1st I don't want to break the rules, 2nd I don't want to cause wake damage.
Common sense in my opinion. I have been going through there since 1971 so it's old hat to me.
