Geoff was suspicious of this sizeable oddity on the beach in front of us this morning, approaching tentatively he periodically stopped watched for any movement and gave a unconvincing warning bark. The object wasn't at all bothered. The object turns out to be a visitor from the United States of America, a 2 ton buoy (phonetically 'boy' to us, or 'boo-ie' to America) which must have broken free from it's tethering chain (the remains of which can be seen attached) somewhere off the East Coast and bobbed across the pond. That's quite a journey, and quite a moment when even maritime furniture decides to flee Trump's America. When it arrived it had a structure on top, a light and 'x' symbol, where they've gone, I don't know. The coastal flotsam and jetsam never fails to prick the imagination.
