No Wake Communication

There has been a substantial amount of heated debate about the emergency 600 foot no wake zone over the past several weeks. During this time, I have noticed that communication by the authorities has been sparse, if not non-existent. My marina workers have never mentioned it once. In addition, on Sunday I stopped by another local marina for gas and was told the 600 NWZ was over. If these folks don't know the rules, how is the average boater to know?

I have a suggestion. Maybe a Winnipesaukee Forum Representative could contact the state and volunteer to be an official posting site for whatever emergency information is applicable? This forum has been cited by the local media as a source of information, so the visability is certainly increasing. Maybe we could even get a donation from the state for this service? All right, the last thought is probably out there but there is nothing wrong with wishful thinking.

My final thought/question: I am going boating on Wednesday. Is the emergency 600ft NWZ still in place?
