This photo was taken on a rainy day on Peaks Island, Maine. I was approaching the ferry to travel to Portland and I noticed the buoys hanging off the side of the railings. I learned a little bit about buoys. Here is what I learned… All buoys float. There are three types of buoys: Navigational, mooring, and fishing. Mooring buoys are used to tie a boat to. Navigational buoys are used as an aid in navigating your boat. Fishing buoys are used to mark fishing nets, crab traps etc. One should try to avoid fishing buoys. They usually indicate shallow water. So, there are your fun facts for the day!
