*lets have some more fun with this idea. Would you really need to fill in the Witches ? What if you had mooring balls for boats to tie to, along with some floating docks to make an atoll near the rocks ? I think the wave action would likely be too much most of the time but could this idea (or some derivative) be done in some other "remote" location. How about the quadrangle off Patrician Shores, Sands of Brookhurst & Farrar Pt. ?

I suggest we form a rafters political action committee, ROAR.
It'll push to get the state to install mooring balls in places on the lake now labelled un-navigatable. Detailed charts of all the rocks in each DRZ along with a few new key buoys would be installed and few key rock demolished. Members of ROAR would get preferential treatment for mooring positions and pay a small yearly fee to maintain the facilities. Rafts of any size would be permitted, stereo's allowed to, ... well ..., roar. We start with the above "quad" and also push for the area west & north of the Graveyard (Bizer Buoy anyone?).
R.O.A.R. = Rafting Over A lot of Rocks (hmmm, how about Rafting Over Anonymous Rocks ?)
