Just my 2 cents...
Well said, Kjbathe. I agree will all of it. All I am suggesting is a tall flag, on a very thin pole...similar to a Fairway Flag, if you happen to be a golfer.
No huge or bright items floating the water. Leave the markers as they are.
But in the center, a simple balck flag visible from, say 100 yards or so. At 100 yards (300 feet) every boater should be able to "pick it up" and act accordingly.
On my day, after making my right turn, I would have quickly spied the flag..
Just a thought...I'm sure it will never happen, and that's OK.
As I stated, I'm quite sure my lesson is learned!
