If we just changed the name there wouldn't be so much Hoorah. Fifty years ago MP ringed the Witches with orange barrels with wide white reflective strips. That lasted just a few years, and hen they wee gone. I'm unaware of that making any difference. To me, when FL71 was added, it just made nighttime navigation m orfe difficult, as it was easy to pick up FL71 and go west thinking it was FL28. Now that "everybody" uses GPS more markers should not be necessary. Maybe next year I'll get my own GPS and I won't have to keep my eyes on where I'm going in relation to other boats.
