First, to answer a question:

Could you supply me with the accurate names of the islands that make up the Dolly Island group?

I've found the best source of information is at the town assessors' office. Look at tax maps. If the island names are not given, contact the owners.
As for other stuff that Bizer has noted:
- The buoys between Governor's Island and Eagle Island have NOT moved enough to be noticed on my GPS (15 feet). The buoys south of Varney Islands also appear to be in the same location (+/- 15 ft).
- As reported, the red-and-white buoy south of Pine Island did move substantially. I don't know why. This puts Bizer in a quandary: Should we report its actual position or last year's position? We think last year's position is the correct one.
- Yes, there are now three pairs of buoys next to FL#52. Two pairs were adequate prior to 2005. The third pair seems superfluous.
- The red buoy at the southern end of Green's Basin is still in the incorrect position. It is next to a rock that is clearly visible. Prior to 2003, it used to mark a rock that is three feet below the surface.
- There's a new buoy in SW Moultonboro Bay. If you look at Bizer's chart, there are many rocks far from the shore. Now, the most dangerous is marked.
- The rock at Umbrella Point (Wofleboro Neck) is only on a Bizer chart (shameless plug here). It is now marked with a buoy.
- One of the red buoys at the SE end of Winter Harbor was moved in 2002. It has been returned to its pre-2002 position (next to a rock).
- One of the black-and-white buoys east of Stonedam Island was moved from one rock to another rock. Go figure.
- Despite letters to the MP, there is still a rock south of Fish Island that is outside the buoys there. Either a new buoy should be added or one of the buoys should be moved.
- Someone has removed the vegetation from light #46 (Round Island).
- As Skipper-of-the-Sea-Que noted, there's a new NO-WAKE buoy northwest of the Governor's Island Bridge. It seems kinda redundant as the bridge has "NO-WAKE" written on it.
- There are NO-RAFTING buoys in Brickyard Cove (between Barndoor Island and Clay Point). I don't recall this. Is this now an official NR zone? Or did the beach owners just put out buoys, boating-public-be-damned.
