Not what they meant by "on the rocks"

Just took a peek at the black cat weather cam, and it was showing a still photo of the stranded boat getting towed off the rocks by what looks like the orange and white, Tow Boat USA ....taken 42-minutes ago.

I have my boating certificate and no I do not have every rule "memorized" that's why I do not venture out where I am not familiar. I just never understood why can't they simply (??) just put markers "all around" hazards the way they cone off holes in the road when your driving. Maybe I'm making it sound easier than it is but there just seems like a better way, the current one obviously confuses many people.

Wonder if that was the rocky ledge that is on the south side of the island about 100' off shore.....almost hit it a few years ago. It was just under the surface and we were able to panic reverse just in time. Saw a several gouges on the rocks.
