Not stupid at all! Actually, I have a similar question; regarding the 150ft courtesy marker off the Meredith public docks, where are they measuring from, the edge of shore or the end of the nearest dock (where it projects out into the lake)? It seems awfully close to the end of the dock to be measured from there. Does anyone know specifically where they're measuring this distance from?
As for where the NWZ begins/ends, I've always presumed it begins/ends at the actual markers. If there was more than one marker (like in Meredith Bay or at the NWZ between Eagle/Governor's islands), I picture an imaginary line drawn between the two and slow down before that line. I will try to come off plane and be proceeding at headway speed just before I cross that imaginary line and when leaving a NWZ, I don't throttle up until my entire boat is across that same imaginary line.
