May's HOOKED $10 Gift Certificate Contest

[BearLakeMack]

[center][font "Arial"][size 5]May's $10 Gift Certificate Contest[/size][/font][/center] [left][size 3]This month's contest involves Buoy Identification. Since most of our fishing community here owns or uses boats, it only make sense to have an idea of what information is out there on our waterways. In some instances they could be the difference from a great day on the water, an annoying ticket, or a major catastrophe.[/size][/left] [left][size 3]The contest will involve 9 different buoy identifications in a multiple choice format. Post your answers for each buoy and at the end include a tie breaker number between 1 - 200.[/size][/left] [left][size 3]As always, you must be a registered member of BFT to win. Any sources of information can be used. The object of the contest is to enlighten everyone of the significance of the buoys we see on our waterways. Contest ends May 18th at 6:00pm. Good Luck![/size][/left] [left][size 3][/size][/left] [center][size 5]Buoy 1[/size][/center] [center][/center] [ol] [li][size 2]These indicate the left side of the channel as a boater enters from the open sea or heads upstream.[/size] [li][size 2]These indicate the right side of the channel as a boater enters from the open sea or heads upstream.[/size] [li][size 2]These indicate that a boater may proceed normally in the direction he is headed without yeilding right away.[/size][/li][/ol] [center][size 5]Buoy 2[/size][/center] [center][/center] [ol] [li][size 2]These indicate the right side of the channel as a boater enters from the open sea or heads upstream.[/size] [li][size 2]These are placed at the junction of two channels to indicate the preferred (primary) channel when a channel splits.[/size] [li][size 2]These indicate the left side of the channel as a boater enters from the open sea or heads upstream.[/size][/li][/ol] [center][size 5]Buoy 3[/size][/center] [center][size 5][/size][/center] [ol] [li][size 2]These indicate that you must yeild right away to all on coming boats.[/size] [li][size 2]These indicate the right side of the channel as a boater enters from the open sea or heads upstream.[/size] [li][size 2]These indicate the left side of the channel as a boater enters from the open sea or heads upstream.[/size][/li][/ol][size 5] [center]Buoy 4[/center] [center][size 2][/center] [ol] [li]These warn of dangers such as rocks, shoals, construction, dams or stumps.

Goog Job! As you'll find out these are U.S. ATONs (Aid to Navigation) they will replace the older USWMS (Uniform State Waterway Marker System) system of markers effective the end of this year. Before you get your boat learn the rules of the road and how to navigate. I learned a poem from my Great Grandfather:

Here lies the body of Jack O'Day, he died maintaining the right of way. He was right, dead right, as he sailed along. But he's just as dead as if he'd been wrong.

It was posted in every boat I've ever had. Maybe we can convince BLM to give us a series of questions on dead reckoning next month. Or maybe a rules of the road quiz.

[font "Comic Sans MS"][size 3]The whole reason for this little excersise is to have fun LEARNING. Obviously, IFG has been around the block a time or two but for everyone else there is something that they might get out of this. There are not many navigational aid on our small lakes and reserviors but if you get down on Lake Powell or Lake Mead or on the coast or on major river systems you would be surprise how common they are. If you come away with nothing more than appreiciation of something new then it was worth it. [/size][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][size 3]Thanks IFG for helping out with this![/size][/font]

Unfortunately I have only fished from a boat once. I will not enter this contest, but I did learn something new and who knows maybe someday the info will come in handy.
