Ha! It was just a matter of time. I caught a lot of fish at the n$&&@? Heads over the years.

O.K. Really???
It was "Negro", not anything else.
Is this really offensive??

Hopefully the new name will bring back my business. Thanks, people who felt this was a priority.

I grew up fishing there a lot in the 1970's.

The previous name was more offensive . . . . .

So true,

I sailed by it this Sunday and was thinking to myself "how long till that name changes"

Rocks West of Black Point are still labeled as the Black Boys, this weekend I was thinking how long till they are renamed.

i was messing around with my Simrad MFD this weekend. When determining which device controls the power, they use the term "Master and Slave"... probably time for a software update

My friends summer house is on Negro Island in Maine. No negroes there.

I was just thinking that Four Tem.

Most of us locals will always call it that, and not Salweegan Reef or something like that as it's new name. What's next High Island because it offends someone or Browns Reef. This is getting ridiculous. How about Five Foot Rock because it will offend people of shorter statue.

Enough is enough. If you don't like it, there's plenty of other countries out there. Pick one.

Grew up fishing the area but what it was called back then would have probably been more offensive.
I'm sure you can figure it out.
