Not sure but it doesn't look big enough for my boat, is it a lake for model boats?

My 12 x 50 binos can just make out that the name painted on the green SHM in the middleground is 'Platte'.
Does that help?
The red semi-submerged thingy is one of a group of 'em, right in the middle of the approach channel to a major port. Is the Harbourmaster interested? Is he b*****y! Perhaps a NOTAM might wake up his ideas.....
In fact, I've decided to send an Advice of Navigation Hazards to the MCA. Let's see if they do what they say they will!

To the relevant section of the MCA:
Navigation Hazards.
Under the requirements of the SOLAS V Regulations, I advise you of the following hazards to navigation encountered on passage on 6/7 August 2007.
Location: The Little Russell Channel, approx 500-700 metres NNE of the entrance to St Peter Port Harbour, Guernsey. Right in the middle of the charted approach to that harbour from the NE, as defined on the relevant Admiralty charts by 'leading lights'.
Hazards: Several red-orange marker buoys and attached 'pickup' buoys, of a type commonly used to mark the ends of strings of crab pots, apparently secured to the seabed by anchors and cables. The hazards are semi-submerged and have no marker flags or lights. These buoys and their cables are likely to disable the propulsion shafts of small vessels using that channel, with consequent risk to life and property. Kindly see attached photo-imagery.
I anticipate that due warning will now be given to mariners, and the relevant creator(s) of the hazard will be charged the full costs of promulgation of such warnings.
Sincerely.....

I picked up one just like it in the Swinge last year. With CI tides running, getting off was a bugger.
