Umm...why is the 'Nab East' buoy, so far west of the Nab tower?
I lately found in a dusty hardback, a laughably mistake-laden four-page typewritten account of a foggy trip I took across the Solent in the eighties, in a very ill-prepared dinghy.
In the twenty years since, I'd forgotten that halfway over, we met the Nab East buoy...and being without chart or compass, were horrified to suppose that somehow, in the mist, we'd sailed far south and east from Chichester, instead of SW as planned. In fact, we were right on course.
Inspection of Imray all these years later, doesn't clarify why the buoy is so-named.
Any ideas?
