As well, a bit of common sense and courtesy would go a long way if you are passing by the entrance to Go Home Lake Marina or approaching the moorings at Minor’s Bay Marina.
Whether you approve of the location of the exposed moorings at Go Home Lake Marina or not,
whether you feel that the refuelling dock should be moved to a less exposed position or not,
the boats that are damaged by wakes are those of your friends and neighbours and the lake that catches the fuel spills is the same one that sits in front of your cottage.
Play nice, watch your wake.
