Not knowing what the markers were, when I first spotted them, I was pleased to discover that I had slowed to headway speed long before getting to them. I was way over estimating 150 feet. I still slow long before the 150 foot mark at public docks just to keep the boats from getting bashed up.

I have to say, as long as no one endangers me or swamps me, I could not care one iota if they want to go above headway speed less than 150 feet from my boat, if my boat is NOT tied to a dock or another boat. I deal with closing speeds of well over 100 MPH, at well under 10 feet of spacing, hundreds of times per day, on my morning and afternoon commutes. No big deal.
