Beach

Remember the runaway buoy on the beach? There is more to the story, I’ve just been a little slow getting it out. The buoy washed up early in the week. After a few days a guy here in the park got a serial number off it and looked it up on the web. He found out who owned it and wrote an email to them. He had a response within ten minutes. The buoy was last seen in Louisiana before Hurricane Katrina. It arrived on our beach with 250 feet of anchor chain still attached to it. The owners were glad to hear where it was and sent a truck. They retrieved it and hauled it back to Louisiana.

There must be more to this buoy than just a shell that floats. Must be some equipment inside. I wonder if they’ll put a gps in the next one before they float it.
