With boats funneling into the channel hard on a busy W/E, boats ignoring the 150 and coming out of the channel hard and not even taking into account boat traffic for the Weirs, it is a disaster in waiting. By extending the no wake it would give vessels the proper room to disperse and reduce the huge swells that create danger for smaller boats. The no wake zone was extended in Meredith a few years ago and I for one thinks it is working out great.

I think it has some merit, as long as it angles from the peir toward #1, therefore allowing those that are headed toward Meredith to get moving sooner. That would encourage folks to spread out when leaving the Weirs channel, rather than making a beeline for Eagle Island, much the same way the NWZ at Bear Island works. It would also encourage people to go around the outside of Eagle Island rather than between it and Governor's. I have to confess, I hate the Meredith NWZ and think it's way too big.
