I had to shared that narrow slot with a boat on plane rounding the corner while I was kayaking. I thought I was going to be run over. He passed me within 50 feet and I thought I would we swamped. Now I'm always right next to shore when I kayak out there.

The east red top buoy at the south end of the channel between Mark and Mink Islands noted in Item #29 above is still missing. I have called Marine Patrol several times concerning this missing navigation marker, but, alas, it continues to be missing. This area south of Mink Island is shallow and should have its buoy back. 🐻

If you are on the chart or GPS, you should know where to go whether the buoy is there or not. Been running around the lake with missing buoys almost every spring for many years. You need to know wheere you are with a compass and chart not electronics.
