Here are some of the differences between Navigation markers and Kayakers that might answer your question:
  • Navigation markers stay in place -- where you expect them. Every day. Same spot.
  • You can actually plan around the markers, because they are all mapped out. And there's only a fixed number of them.
  • Navigation markers usually follow well-known rules. In fact, I don't know of any markers that don't follow the rules.
  • Navigation markers wear distinct, pre-defined colors -- that actually mean something.
  • If you hit a Navigation marker, it's always your fault.
And just to be complete, here are some of the similarities between Navigation markers and Kayakers. These similarities are not necessarily all good, though:
  • Some Navigation markers are lit up. So are some Kayakers. The first is a good thing; the second not so good.
  • When you see them, Navigation markers are so slow that you should have time to avoid them. Same with Kayakers.
  • Many Navigation markers are in some dangerous areas of the lake. After reading some of these comments, so are some Kayakers.
