It's a man standing on the subject rock in a wetsuit with his arms outstretched to keep his balance. This rock was marked until 2000. My hunch is that the buoy was destroyed one winter and the person who came up to replace it put it in the wrong position.
Also, I originally forgot to mention in my original post:
- The lone buoy off Ellacoya State Park has been eliminated. On Bizer's first edition (1996), there were five buoys off Ellacoya State Park. From 1997 to 2005, there were four buoys. From 2006 to 2013, there has been one buoy. These buoys had no navigational significance. Their purpose was to keep boaters away from the park.
