Other Issues a ■ 8 Marker (near BYC mooring area) • Steel pile has been hit, creating a hazard • Responsibility of the Coast Guard • Coast Guard issued a "notice to mariners" for 30 days. • Issue was vetted with the harbor community at the January Yachtsman's luncheon. A red floating buoy is preferred to a pile. Carter Ford has been instrumental in helping to solve this problem. Coast Guard may easily solve problem because the pile removal costs are under $5,000. Coast Guard "Ship Shore Maintenance Record" has been submitted by the Coast Guard for removal.
