I have a feeling we have to thank D.O.T. but it may be another govt dept, but somebody has put some big yellow Buoys around Narimba Cay.
They are marked, "Austin Cove Nature Reserve speed limit 5 knots". If you don't go inside this area, you won't hit the Cay.
Here's my tracks from today, when I did hit the Cay, and sailed back to one of the buoys to see what it was. Then a bit later gybed around it, so this locates the point on my tracks.





There's another buoy closer to the point, and another two further along, don't do as Fangy did, and mistake the far side ones as the near side ones!

Thanks Mike. Are the buoys new? Can you please put on your map the approximate location of the other buoys?

Here's the one that I was trying to avoid Anita. You can see my approach, change of direction and all the other passes are windward of the marker.
Edit: Just realised the E in yellow obscures the change, but that is where I stopped 10m shy of the marker and headed back away from it.

Thanks Pepe for that, no Anita I'd only be guessing, but they are some distance further east of Pepe and my markers.
And as they weren't there the last time we sailed there, I guess they are reasonably new.
