So now we look at the witches the wonderful navigation hazard that it is. Everyone always wonders why it is not more visible... of course the same argument can be made about middle ground shoal as well. Folks this is why we have charts. This is why the Chart makers make the charts, so that we can use them to navigate when we are in unfamiliar territory.

As VtSteve pointed out the Capt. of the Dive boat already admitted he screwed up... Would more Markers of helped him... I doubt it.... He made an error he is human...

Now short of putting markers every five feet around the area I don't understand what people want done... Wait hold on... lets pull on out of the old bag... The only thing I could see to make the Witches more visible is to make the markers bigger, that is an idea I would go for, and also add a bell to them... Much like the markers used on coastal waters....

Now bringing the idea of bigger markers to the Marine Patrol is an idea that might work... More Markers means more work... not that bigger markers don't but it doesn't mean additional markers to keep and eye on....

But even with bigger markers... the human flaw will happen again... accidents happen, we just need to accept it and move on....

I am glad that in this accident no one was hurt the boat was recovered quickly, and life will go on.
