Default Marker is now off the Alton Docks

During the Old Home 5K road race and the antique boat show, the marine patrol work boat came down, with the wind blowing a pretty good gale down the bay kicking up 2-3 foot swells, and dropped the new marker. It took a fair amount of manuevering in the wind and the chop, with one of the MP'ers using a laser unit like I do on the golf course to set the distance. Personally, I think it's a good idea, and hopefully some folks will have a better idea of the distance. Unfortunately, there will still be those out there who won't know or will not care to abide. Ah, the joys of boating!!!!

PS John...maybe the problem is that a CT yard is like a NY minute!!!!
