A few take it one set further and cut between Pine and the marker, never entering the NWZ.

Thanks BI, that makes sense. It's interesting that the no wake zone doesn't extend all the way to Pine Island, since a corner comes so close anyway.

Sorry for the detour in this thread. I realize it's about the Eagle/Governor's NWZ.

After Bizer noted the markers were 315' apart, I had to look at that again because I couldn't imagine them set at 315'. Sure enough, there is no way it's that wide. Then at the gas docks, a fellow winni.com pal informed me that the markers were re-set due to a well known boat clipping a rock.

Sorry Bizer, take a look at the markers your next time out. I think you have a change for the next edition.

Boat Captain,

No, we probably don't need more rules and regs in our lives but when the other 'boat captains' don't pay attention to the rules of the road to begin with then the people do something about it.

In this case the people wanted to increase the safety factor in a very busy intersection. Well, they asked for it and they got it. Now ,there will be SIGNS for those who don't know the rules of the road. They know how to spend their money on the big powerful toys so let's hope that they know how to read.

I agree with Parrothead-what's the hurry?
