you are all telling me to stop tagging spam? Screw it, guess I am not
an 'us", so I must be a "them".. so be it..

No spammer here just checking things out! I love sailing and do sail

ROTFL!!!!!

It is funny in a serious kind of way. The vast majority of these FWC
warning signs are not on the charts, and they are wood placards on
wood pilings, almost no radar signature at all. The whole manatee
issue is totally out of control. Anyone in Florida who wants a speed
limit for some personal reason can petition for a "manatee" zone to be
created. FWC loves it because it makes them feel important and
creates more laws to enforce.

If you hit a FWC sign at night it is a *serious* safety issue.

We had a marker down in the Estero Bay (ICW type pole down, laying
right at the water line)and he had it back up within 48 hours of me
sending the Email. It was really supposed to be prvately maintained
but Lee County decided the danger trumped the turf war.

It's good to hear that some parts of government are responsive to
issues.

The FWC operates an on-call response program to coordinate the timely
examination, evaluation and appropriate repair of FWC assets that
represent a potential hazard to navigation. This type of response
system provides an efficient notification process for directing
personnel to evaluate issues and take appropriate action. In some
cases, this may involve passing on reports of non-FWC related waterway
problems to another responsible entity such as the United States Coast
Guard.



IF YOU SEE A DAMAGED FWC SIGN OR BUOY PLEASE REPORT IT! CALL:
1-866-405-BUOY (2869)
or email



When a damaged sign or buoy is reported by telephone to 1-866-405-BUOY
or by email to :

FWC will assess the problem.
FWC will identify/mark it, if it presents a potential hazard to
navigation.
FWC will work to fix the problem.

Information to have when calling/emailing:

Location of damaged marker (GPS coordinates, waterbody name, nearby
landmarks, county, nearest city or town, etc.)

Brief description of the problem
Your name and contact information

And all this time, I thought Fresh Water Cooling worked all the time, not
just on demand.

I understand - there are markers on the CT river that are the
responsibility of state DEP and none of them are on the charts.

It just sounded funny.

As to manatees, that's an amazing situation.

The *nerve* of those damned manatees and the FWC, interfering with your

Who or what would have the nerve to dare interfere with or restrict the
personal pleasure of a seaman of WayneBs' stature?
Suitable punishment might be a stint in the Army's resort on Cuba's south
coast.

Well, you could have been knocked up by a manatee.
