MP is not the same since the SP took over. I am very disappointed.

On the flip side of that coin...many years ago we were renting a slip at Fays, and one day I was coming in with the pontoon. I was pulled over just before I got to the mooring field there by MP, who told me " one of your bow numbers is faded...go to Fays and get a new number...NOW!" The curious onlookers at the marina had a good laugh after I told them what I'd done wrong! I also remember being stopped a few times for " equipment checks".

OMG, I cant believe the signage at this NEW NO WAKE Zone !!
Shame on the Marine Patrol !!! You need binoculars at 50 feet to read the NO Wake on a look a like lighted buoy like marker. You have no idea where the zone begins or ends ? What kind of signage is this.. a brand NEW no wake zone that's not on any of the charts yet.. and they put a sign you couldn't read unless you where 20ft away from and is way out of position. What Happen to the big NO WAKE buoy and signs of the past? I can see everyone not seeing that buoy and going through at full speed like past seasons as a shortcut down the lake to Alton. The buoy on that side isn't even near the middle at all, its way off to the shore on the right, where no one comes from.. |

I launched my boat at Glendale early yesterday evening (6:30PM) and neither I or my son saw one of the new NWZ buoys until we were on top of it. (I took a slight 'detour' around Locke's Island before heading into Smith Cove to dock my boat. So sue me.)
I have to agree that they need to be better placed, i.e. more visible. Otherwise a lot of boaters will unknowingly violate No Wake. I'd hate to think they'll be ticketed because of the poor marking of the NWZ. |

Went through that area today. Agreed, the buoy on the southeast side is just one along Lock Island, they need a second one on the land side. So really not sure where it starts coming from the broads, the two on the Northwest side are clear and makes sense.
Hopefully they will fix that up soon. |
