We were out the other day and saw quite a bit of debris in Sanders Bay, off the Weirs, on either side of the bridge at Governor's Island, the north side of Governor's Island, near Spindle Point, the east side of Stonedam Island near Sally's Gut, and around Locke's Island.
Much of it was floating just beneath the surface. Some of it was just small branches, the occasional tree branch, a few pieces of what looked like stove-length firewood, and what I believe was the deck surface of somebody's dock.
I don't know about you, but I wouldn't want to hit any of that at any kind of speed above headway. It could end your boating season prematurely, if you know what I mean.
I think a lake-wide No Wake Zone might be a good idea for the hoilday weekend.
