The minimum speed under which headway can be made and steering control can be maintained. This produces little to no wake, protecting shorelines from artificial erosion. Typically this is 3 to 5 knots, or more in a current.
The slowest speed at which it is still possible to remain steering.
Producing no wake and not exceeding 5 MPH.
BUI is Boating under influence, compared to DUI or Driving under influence.

The Slowest speed that it is still possible to maintain steering
Most boating accidents occur when the weather is calm and clear and winds are light. The main cause of boating accidents is human error.
I had a friend get a ticket for "no wake" or "idle speed" in Virginia. He was told that Idle Speed is the slowest speed that you can go and maintain control of the boat. I guess if you have an steamship, you can go a little faster than a 14 foot Jon boat.
The conditions and circumstances at any given place and time determine the speed. While there may be no speed limits on boats in certain areas, under all boating regulations, boats must be driven only at safe speeds. The boater must take into account all of the conditions and circumstances in order to determine the proper speed. If a boater were in an unposted speed area at night, in fog with many other boats in the areas, he/she would not be permitted to go as fast as he/she wanted to go.
