Well, I would hope not. However, when I was going into the channel in Small's Cove into West Alton Marina. Those of you that are familiar with this area also know that there is a sand bar there..... WELL, there was a group of 4-5 young teenagers swimming at the edge and WELL into the the middle of the channel on Saturday. The were very close to being hit 3-4 times. (I am sure that the parents weren't aware)

BUT back to the subject.... these kids were moving the black markers. Diving numerous times together trying to move them. WHY????? kids being kids.... they had no idea what they were doing was dangerous. No idea they were in danger of being hit.... Yada yada yada.

Don't know if anyone stopped them or even if they were successful. I was told to bud out and just kept going. However, apparently it happens.

I do also know that last month when we had that HORRIBLE storm our swim platform was moved about 20 ft and hit the dock.

Just an FYI.

I am sure that Marine Patrol will have it fixed once notified. (I hope)
