It was VERY dark tonight, so it took a bit of playing the flashlight around to actually find the cove entrance, and proceed down to West Alton Marina, etc. etc.
I can't remember when the flashing buoys are usually taken out of the water. It seems early, as I've never noticed them not there in the past.

You should consider a GPS. It is cheap insurance, especially for an island owner that uses his/her home late in the season.
