New No wake Zone

[Bizer]

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.

I'll admit that things may have changed since I was last there.

Two years ago, someone on this forum reported that the buoy at Eagle Island had moved because someone had hit a rock. My comment that there is 315 feet between the buoys was based on GPS readings after that comment.

In September, 2004, I did not measure their position, although both appeared to be in their 2003 position. Neither has been observed in 2005.

As suggested, I shall be checking their position when Bizer does its annual survey of the lake in September.

Bizer.... although the distance between bouys is 315" what is the distance from those bouys to land? Just curious. I always thought the black bouy was within 150' of Governer's...

Based on my most recent readings, there is about 760 feet between the two islands. One buoy is 180 feet from Eagle Island, FL02 is 260 feet from Governors' Island.
