Winter’s Official: No-Wake Buoys

Removed Sunday From Otsego Lake

SUNY Oneonta undergrads Rachel Zeino and Jeanmarie Russell  completed the seasonal swap of non-wake-zone buoys for winter spar buoys yesterday at Springfield Landing.  They completed the task in snow sleet, rain and hail, Paul Lord, who leads the Biological Field Station diver team, reports.  This was the last no-wake zone buoy on Otsego Lake this year:  The buoy off Lakefront Park in Cooperstown was removed earlier in the day by BFS volunteer diver Pat McCormack and SUNY Oneonta grad student Sarah Coney.  (Paul Lord photos)
