Slow speed/minimum wake is different though than some of the No Wake zones that say nothing about speed, although in retrospect I think most if not all states do define no wake as minimal speed.

That said, we go slow in all minimum and no wake zones. But not going to go slow for the guy with a house on the side of the ICW who thinks we should while no boat in sight or go at 6 knots to pass a 50' trawler in an open expanse of the ICW. And not going to pay any attention to those self posted signs that someone just decides to put up.
