Yes, I did that also. For some reason, I find no_slip confusing, and I thought it was *free*_slip, which is quite the opposite.

I'd also try and turn these off, particularly for your resolutions.  You won't come close to resolving the bottom Ekman layers if you have any stratification.  If you want explicit bottom drag I'd parameterize it with a bottom drag co-efficient instead.
