Picked up one of Tony Ward's, at Pin Mill, and noticed that he has written his mobile phone number in felt tip on the pickup buoy.
What a good idea.
What a good idea.
A good idea if you have a swinging mooring

I reckon numbers marked with felt tip will last about a week out in the elements!

Well, the pickup buoy is usually on the boat's foredeck, so it is not as bad as if it were in the water. I grant that in Tony's case, its his business, so he has evcery reason to re-write it!
But the convenience of being able to phone the owner of a mooring to find out when he/she will be back and avoid all hassles seems to, me, to have a lot going for it. If the mooring owner is out of cellphone range one could leave a message.

Excellent idea
We have had our boat name engraved on a plastic tag which lasts better than painting it on the buoy. I might well add the mobile number.

Re: Even better!
Perhaps you could add the telphone of the nearest take-away and directions to the Pub?

Certainly not
That would be nothing but a further blow to the self reliance of all the softy yotties there are about nowadays. Of course, returning at 3 a.m. and finding my mooring occupied is wonderfully character building for me, but, there, I just a softy myself, really. Happily it doesn't happen often as most people are frightened of our little creek. Softies!
