The maintenance crew in the past used to remove bouys in the fall, repair, replace and repaint them every winter, and install them in the spring. Due to budget restraint, bouy maintenance is not a priority. When the ice moves and or damage the bouys, it remains where they are, unfortunately.

I noticed a number of bouys that have shifted and not in their proper place. You will need to be vigilant and pay attention out there.

You should know by now that the MP officers are not boaters and they are seasonal employees. They will not have a clue what bouys have moved.
