Lost at sea: Neighbors looking for a missing mooring buoy

Rick R is wondering if you can help find that missing buoy:

Our neighbor’s mooring was last seen on Sunday, before the lightning storm. It normally rests in the small bay just South of Brace Point, around the point from Fauntleroy Cove.

It isn’t the best looking buoy around, but it has a lot of sentinmental value. If the chain broke, it could have ended up anywhere from The Arroyos to Alki Point..or beyond.

If seen, please send me a note at fr7001@gmail.com.

    as one of the famous comedians of my childhood, Allan Sherman, said, “uh, buoy!” (I guess this comment makes more sense if you can hear him saying it in your head in his NY Jewish accent like I can.)

    I also thought it said missing boy… Glad its a BUOY instead. Though I’m still sorry the buoy is missing too. Hope it gets found… especially if it holds sentimental value.

    We saw something that looked like this buoy about 8:30 PM last night. It was floating about 100 yards off the sandy side of Alki, about halfway between the boathouse and Duwamish head.

    Thanks Pibal! I’m on the way to check it out.

    Couldn’t spot it at Alki, around Duwmish head and down to Salty’s. Will keep looking!

Sorry, comment time is over.
