While I'm not a big proponent of large no-wake zones(Merideth),I see the Eagle/Governors Island channel a prime spot for one.JMO SS

Just got back to the forum today and you are correct, I was not the originator of the idea but merely reminding people that some creative, if unorthodox, ideas might well help. Biggest issue I have with that area is that people won't queue up properly and wait their turn to go through and instead treat it like a merge on the interstate, "Me first, you whenever", instead of "zipping it" together like reasonable people. While a NWZ would no doubt help I'm not sure I like it (for purely selfish reasons
) When there's traffic present I always do the little zig-zag btw Stonedam, Eagle & Pitchwood. If there's a NWZ at the Gov-Eagle channel then there will be more traffic on my normal route
And of course they then won't bother to swing wide enough to allow for other boats to pass, but will instead take the direct, straight line, buoy to buoy course. How about removing the few rocks by the last black tipped marker (btw Eagle and Pitchwood) and widen the "channel".
Added: I recalled SIKSUKRs idea here

Great minds think alike or one-in-the-same ?
