The red buoy had drifted near the downtown seawall from its place half a mile west from the harbor channel. I took this photo looking north. Due to fierce winds and big waves the almost 12,000 pounds (about 6 tons or 5,443 kilograms) buoy 26 feet inches height and 8 feet inches width the buoy is now half a mile closer floating near the rocky basalt shores downtown.
