I don't know that I would have chosen these 2 areas, as I understand them, as prime candidates. The Bear/mainland stretch has a NWZ at one end and a channel at the other and is short enough in between that it's no great loss and wouldn't be the "fast route" anyway. That said, it's not unsafe to be "fast" in that stretch so I wonder why, other than it makes a good test zone, it was choosen ? (I could float a good coonspiracy theory
)
I'm not sure exactly what the area btw Rattlesnake and ??? is. Is it between R.I. and Sleepers I. or btw R. I. and the mainland, thus including all of Sleepers & Treasure ? Again I don't see "fast" as being inherently unsafe there, though, given you can go the alternate route (the Broads side of R.I.) I don't see it as a big deal in and of itself.
Lastly I do get a chuckle out of the statements made by various proponents in the articles Skip posted in the other thread. Doesn't Pilliod own a twin engine cruiser ? Must be a small one.
