N.B.

You look at your chart and reference the number then simply call it in to Marine Patrol. The actual buoys themselves are not all independently numbered.

Hope that helps explain.

What about bouys that have been broken off?
How many years are they left in before they are replaced? I know of one near Meredith Neck, Dolly Island (opposite FL #3) that has been broken for three years.
Is it worth a call to Marine patrol or do they wait until it is missing, it is now at at point that you can not identify the color.

Call it in ! and I know the EXACT marker you are referring to

My experiance in the past is that if the Marker is unidentifiable (no color) Marine Patrol is usually pretty darn good at a quick fix.

Numerous times I have called in the Red top just off Pitchwood, which seems to be a consistant marker hit as traffic curls in towards FL#44
