This new rule could prove to be a boon for McMansion window shopping. Traveling at 6mph, it's perfectly legal to go as close to Gov Isl as you want as the 150' rule is not in effect at the no-wake speed of 6mph. The area between the black spar marker and Gov Isl is smooth, sandy, deep enough and free of any rocks so as long as you are travelling at 6mp anyway, it's not going to break you prop or your outdrive to get up close for a looksee. There's one large and interesting house a couple doors up with the double docks and 'for sale' sign going for 4.95 mil. I wonder if they would maybe let it go for 4.25 mil?
With all that new calm water, it's become a nice spot for a boat picnic.
