We will begin enforcement in the Idle Speed Only zone on Thursday. Idle Speed Only will mean Idle Speed Only for all boats - including PWCs. This is necessary due to the congestion we anticipate and primarily in order to prevent accidents and to reduce the risks created by careless operators.

The Boats Keep Out Zone has been changed. It will be clearly marked by buoys and is in place around the swimming area. No boats means no boats - the safety of the swimmers is paramount. The cove in front of the Church in the Pines will not be restricted as previously planned. It will be open to all boats and will probably be one of the safest avenues for boaters to drop off people wanting to go ashore or reach the swimming area.

We will have patrol boats stationed strategically througout the entire Idle Speed Only zone and at the end of the event we plan to station patrol boats across Kowaliga bay as we do on the 4th of July to facilitate the safe flow of traffic.

We encourage everyone to slow down, keep a proper lookout and excercise as much courtesy as possible. The designated operator concept works on the water very well - we encourage all operators to refrain from consuming alcoholic beverages. Also, 21 is the legal age to possess or consume alcoholic beverages.

The district office will not be manned during these 4 days as all available personnel will be working the event. If you need our assistance we are dispatched through the Alex City Trooper Post at (256) 234-7311.
