Repaired and replaced and ready for the 2017 boating season. Both the black spar buoy and light buoy are now in place.
New for 2017, there are probably many more than this one.
Just an FYI, on a missing marker noticed yesterday for folks getting out on the water early this year for 2017 before Marine Patrol has a chance to repair them. I believe this is also a lighted buoy as well. While it is not uncommon for the lighted marker to be taken out for the winter and still be out at this time of the year. The companion black top seems to be gone as well. It's some what of an open area here and there are several in this part of the lake. I usually count all of them to make sure I go around the hazards here and not go in between them. With one missing (at the moment) it is really easy to make the turn around the hazards way to early (going south) or (late going north) and get yourself in trouble. Again just an FYI, for the early season boaters, I'm sure marine patrol will have this repaired soon.
Anyone know for sure if this is a lighted buoy? Or it's number if it is.
