Some additional blinking or reflective markers should be added to Masonboro Inlet. I've been boating those waters all my life and it can be dangerous to someone at sunrise, sunset and at dark especially. The inlet is one of the best in the state and attracts thousands of boaters to our area. If additional markers were added this could have likely been avoided. The area between the beach and the rocks looks like a cut through at high tide and I've seen many of boats sharply turn at the last second in broad daylight to avoid it.
I pray for the family that has to get this news today.
