Casting My Vote for the Current System
I am in favor of the current system for the following reasons:
1. they're different from the ocean
2. they take a little experience to get comfortable with-keeps every JoeBagOfDonuts from going out at night overconfident and getting hurt
3. Imagine some places on the lake with larger individual markers (Pistol Is. area, for an example)...I think it would be very cluttered-looking if the markers were two or three times the size of the current size
4. they're charming and quirky
5. if it hurts to hit a wooden or plastic buoy, imagine what it would be like to ding an iron one! Or the cost on the part of the state to replace a larger plastic one after it got hit.
Believe me, I wandered around a bit and spent a lot more time on the lake at night than I had to the first few times I came home from Wolfeboro at night, but I like the system as it is.
