Buoy

Do you personally pronounce this word booo-eee or boy? I'm a booo-eee speaker.

Sea Lion - Port Townsend

Sometimes you can use the tilt of markers to tell which way the current is going and how strong. Once we saw this huge marker tilted over at a 45 degree angle and were worried until we saw a huge fat sea lion on it.

Here is a smaller sea lion making a smaller angle on a buoy as we came by Port Townsend on our way to the Wauquiez Rendezvous this year.

  3. I'm a booo-eee man myself.

    There used to be a floating cage anchored just outside the breakwater at Shilshole - with hee gate left open. It was always filled to overflowing with a blubbery horde of barking, groaning, snorting sea lions. This cacophany faded into the background for us, because it was always there, day and nite.

    Periodically, some official-looking folks would come and close the gate, and tow the full cage off... somewhere. So for a few days, it was unnaturally quiet. Then the cage was returned and immediately filled up again.

    The cage is gone now. Strangely, I kind of miss the noise.

  4. I prefer "girl", why should the buoys get to name it?

    Then again, I say mains'l and heads'l too, which my wife Rebecca hates.
