Hi....here is a sticky one that I hope someone can shed some light on.
I have a mooring in Portsmouth Harbour in Area 51. When I went back to it yesterday, someone had put a Hobby cat 18 on there with the words "Danger keep clear" in bold on the side! It has no mast but has a post with a flashing yellow light on it, a wind generator and it has a domestic water tank with some pipes trailing. I believe it to be some kind scientific experiment, probably by a university somewhere.
There are no useful markings on the offending object to identify the owner and QHM know nothing about it.
Clearly it has been put there with out any thought that someone might actually be using the mooring.

Anyone got any ideas what to do...apart from setting it free to roam Portsmouth harbour at leisure, or putting an unintentional hole in the hulls?
Any practical and useful suggestions welcomed
Thanks
