Okay -- sorry for the delayed response......but we just got back from the Lake and our "season opening" five days boating.
Glad to know I wasn't the only one seriously confused by the FL30 area when I first started out (yearrrrrrs ago)
(kchace) there are no "companions" to black or red "Tops" ..... what you (I think) are referring to as FL30's "companion" is actually the aspect that makes that area confusing. Notably a black & red top pair just to the north-ish of the lite. This is one of the rare areas that "depending on your approach" you actualy split a pair of black tops --- which scares the hell outta ya the first few time you do it -- MAP or not!!
DaveR -- we have our place just east of FL#1 and watch the traffic off Eagle all the time. Your reffering to the FL#44 side of Eagle and there are many a boater who get my "God is on their side" award. That side of the island has numerous eractic rock configurations ... we've putted over there with the Jet Ski (best time is Fall low water)..... the closer you are to Eagle the more hazard but as Kchace said --there is no real logical "single hazard".
