At long last, and with the collaboration of CGW2.org, The Port of Hood River, and Hood River County Sheriff Marine Deputies, "Slow No Wake" zone buoys have been re-installed at The Hood River Event Site. Please note the space between the buoys and the shoreline as a safe zone for all and regulate your speed accordingly. The Oregon Marine Board guidelines for a No Wake Zone are the mandatory operation of your vessel at the slowest speed necessary to maintain steerage and resulting in no visible wake. Keep your head on a swivel, and be safe out there! 🤙
