It has nothing to do with being in a hurry. I only go 20-25 mph 95% of the time. I don't like to have to come on & off plane. The more NWZ's the more you have to do that.
Woodsy, I never meant to imply that a boat should be parked there 24/7. But being that its generally agreed that its the busiest part of the lake don't you think they could have had MP's monitor that area more frequently on warm busy weekends instead of being in other areas that are obviously less busy? I don't recall ever seeing an MP there ever & as I said earlier even the MP's violated it so I guess that sends a message.
If it does work its only going to calm that small section between the red & black spar. Boaters will still get on plane quickly from the Weirs Channel to Eagle & when throttling down approaching Eagle will create big wakes going 10-15 MPH before they enter the NWZ. So I don't see that section being any calmer, if anything it will be worse with all the big wakes from throttling down.
As mentioned earlier it may make the Pitchwood route too busy & then that will be up for debate as a NWZ. If that ever happened you would not be able to access Meredith or Weirs without going through a NWZ. If I wanted to putt along I would have purchased a small aluminum boat with an electric motor. Come to think of it maybe thats the ticket. It would save me a whole lot of money.
