You see people do some interesting things on their boat sometimes. Everybody is at a different spot on the boat learning curve. Nicole and I aren't too far up it ourselves. But some people just seem to lack common sense. According to the guide book there are 4 buoys in Ewing cove. When we came in we only saw 3 buoys and what appeared to be someone's crab pot marker. After driving by the crab pot marker in the dinghy we saw that it was an out of order park buoy.
This would seem to indicate some sort of problem with the equipment. 
Fortunately, there is a second buoy to add further clarification.
In this picture you can see the park buoy about three feet underwater.
The marker buoys were tied to the mooring buoy with some half rotted quarter inch polypropylene line.
This couple rolls up ans spends litterally 10 minutes examining the buoys. I couldn't believe it so I discretely snapped a couple pictures off the stern.
They tied up to it anyway. At this point the picture was going to be for the insurance claim I would surely be filing since an ebb current was going to push them right into us.
