I don't see this as a contentious divisive thread. Nothing wrong with an open discussion of issues.

I live on Long Island facing Little Bear. Two red channel markers are in a somewhat ambiguous position although, strictly speaking, I believe they are correct. Regardless, my kind neighbor puts out 2 obviously home made markers to mark a relatively large area just outside the channel. This area is only about 1 foot deep and is many hundreds of feet from shore. I am certain this has saved a lot of props and more. Regardless, I have witnessed a number of boats getting stuck in this area.

My point is, although I do tend to believe that navigation aids should be the province of the MP; sometimes common sense can prevail.

I do appreciate Chasedawgs efforts to make boating safer, even for the Boneheads.
