I've got it.....lets use Flagmen like they have on the roads....with a Stop sign, Slow sign, and yellow vests. All joking aside, the markets for inland navigation are too small in diameter and colors are too hard to see. How about some of those hi vis green and red's on larger diameter tubes....like 8 inch diameter instead of the current 4 inch versions. At least the Marine Patrol could do an experiment, but I know that is asking way too much. And it would probably take an Act of Congress to change the navigation scheme, but they (Congress) don't do much anyway, so maybe this would give them something of quality to regulate before the midterms. Let's ask Sen Kerry to bring his new sail boat up in tax free NH to be a tester !!
