Decisions?

Which side should I go?

 

[sailorman]

Either side
its a junction imho

Of course it might depend on which IALA region you are in. I think the main thing is that if you carried on straight ahead you are likely to hit the concrete bank - so I wouldn't do that.

Which East Coast are we dealing with here? The buildings look vaguely like something on the Brisbane River but I can't place the warehouse. But the region looks sub tropical if not tropical.

Here's the previous

Now that's what I call a raft!

It's a West Coast I'm afraid. This is the East Caost but you wouldn't want to see that would you?

20 degrees Sou,h

Comparing the two pictures, once again the East Coast wins!

Now that's just a bit mean on a cloudy Essex morning.

Saying that I took the dinghy out yesterday at low tide round the Blackwater and it was ace.

Is that because it looks a bit softer when you hit it?

Somewhere in the Pacific? Fiji, Tonga, Vanuatu?

Well actually it's the new reversible buoy to meet the new IALA T regulation.

The IALA T proposes that the buoyage should change depending on the Tide, hence the T.

This prototype clearly demonstrates a falling tide and therefore the indicators are that starboard should be on the right, exactly as was determined many years ago.
When the tide turns, the buoy inverts and thus the buoyage,showing red, indicates that port shall be on your left with a rising tide.

Simples.

That's extremely mean on a wet Kent morning.

Sorry, but you are all wrong.

Its a large pot marker that has been antifouled below the waterline.

Sorry had to pop out to take SWMBO to the Hospital

I thought initially it was a mooring buoy 'cos it has an eye on it. But you've seen the size of the raft (which is where your Princes' Tuna comes from). And who in Mauritius would antifoul the underneath of a mooring buoy? As far as I could see (it's in the inner harbour at the capital Port Louis (promounced Lewis not Louis 'cos we turfed the frogs out for raiding our East Indies fleet), it doesn't mark any channel. Quarantine buoy?

This is broken Coastguard ship built in Chile. Unfortunately it crunched the reef off Rodriques and has stuffed one prop shaft to such an extent that it is beyond economic repair. It still puts to sea on one engine for life saving purposes!

How about an illegal flag in the harbour

Hi all....
is it not a Region B 'prefered channel to starboard' mark?

Regards
Boz

 

[tillergirl]

Good point. Could it be the small craft channel. With the one nearer to the raft of Tuna ships, could it be suggesting that small craft 'keep to starboard of those two buoys on entering'

I suppose I could ask them!
