The Marine Patrol sometimes takes liberties. If you read the Administrative Rule below you find the Bear Island NWZ should extend 150' north and south of the Mail Dock. The buoys however are at least 300' south and 800' north of that dock. An area at least 6 times greater than authorized.
I don't complain because I agree with the placement. If the NWZ was as small as specified, boats could just go around it.
"(ap) The area 150 feet north of the Bear Island mail dock to 150 feet south of the mail dock in the channel between the Bear Island Post Office and Pine Island shall be a "no wake" area."
