I don't mind the commercial floats - they're making a living and it seems like there's some rhyme and reason to where they set their traps.* Its the recreational floats that drive me nuts.* No telling where they'll be except that usually they'll be someplace stupid.* And no adherence to any colour scheme.* We've seen purple laundry soap containers in the entrance to Van Isle Marina.* A good percentage of them are left out for weeks at a time so they get a good growth of green slime on them.* Good luck spotting one of them against a setting sun with other boat traffic coming into the marina.* There must be something we could trail like the destroyers used to sweep minefields.
