Rather than a lighthouse, what about this. Place something like day markers on the witches. These would be large enough for everyone to see and could be lit at night. I personally find the channel markers difficult to find evenas I know where they are located.

There will be a meeting on Monday, Aug. 26, to discuss the lighthouse idea and gauge public opinion and support of the proposal. The meeting will begin at 7 p.m. at the Marine Patrol headquarters in Gilford.

Default Marine Patrol Involvement

I think the efforts of the Marine Patrol would be better directed to patrolling the lake to insure adherence to current rules.

The Marine Patrol has not taken any position, did not originate the idea, and only offered to host an informational meeting. This lighthouse movement is from the efforts of someone outside the agency. The meeting seems like an excellent way for the Marine Patrol to let the discussion happen and see what the general public thinks. I am glad that they want our opinion.

"Dunleavy said he offered for his agency to host the meeting as a means to measure that support. However, he stopped short of saying whether he would cast his vote in support of the proposal.

“If I want to vote on something, I want to be informed and I’m not there yet,” he said.

The best way for boaters to protect themselves is to be aware of where they are and how to interpret navigational markers, he said."

My bad! I read the Marine Patrol was hosting it and missed the rest of the sentence. Thank you for the help
