To answer your question:
With the higher water level, river front property owners are asking for renewed "No Wake" enforcement due to dock and retaining wall damage. This link will give a better picture: http://www.voicenews.com/articles/2015/ ... 104622.txt[/quote]

Yes, I'm aware of the requests for additional no-wake zones from the residents that live along the water. But, so far they are just requests. Nothing official has changed.

Nice shots. I caught a few of them yesterday at Port Huron, but didn't stick around for the entire parade.

The caption on your first shot mentions the newly enforced speed limits on the river. I heard the pilot on the Federal Miramichi mention the "line of turtles".

Did something change recently?

Although the day began with a veil of fog, it lifted mid-morning and boatnerds were able to enjoy a variety of ships and watercraft on the St. Clair River.

Watercraft of all designs and speeds were on the river.  This group of four speed boats lead at least a dozen more up river -- and they all seemed unaware of the speed restrictions.
