That spot can be confusing. It's just like the spot btw Bear and Mink mentioned earlier. You're splitting the 2 black tipped markers and it just doesn't seem correct. There are a few places like this on the lake where it can be pretty unclear as to what to do if you only had a compass and your friend BEN. Another, that UTS has mentioned, is the black tip off the southern end of Treasure I. It's waaaay off the island and if you were headed out of Alton Bay and decided to split Treasure and Cub, following the BEN rule could put you on the wrong side of the marker. There are some places you've just got to memorize or better yet, keep a chart handy and follow the safe navigation route (lines).
