I remember a while back someone wanting specs for an even buoy.

I'll do ya one better, how about a totally free, nice big and yellow buoy? Just repaint it and its yours, I saw down at Pinnaroo Point earlier this week a (Jet ski-ing Area) Buoy had been washed ashore, obviously the line couldn't take the strain in the seas from that last system that came through.

Its pretty light, an easy 2 man job and might need a bit of an orby or a sandblast for the barnacles. Im pretty sure Flotsam is Finders Keepers anyways.

There's a wave rider buoy somewhere down the west coast of Tassie if anyone want's one. Capable of measuring waves upto 30m i think, but over that it gets a little stressed. It'll call you when the swells right and i'm sure it could accomodate an anemometer too.

ohh so people DO want it, *drives to beach and puts it on eBay*

If you wanna know where it is, if its still there it should be about 250 metres north from the carpark at Pinnaroo Point. or it might have washed downwind a bit now. maybe burns? just nick a Cop's Beach Quad and have a fang down the beach...
