We found out who kindly rescued the buoy on Milne's Point that Jamie Dimick posted about yesterday.  Jane Milne got in touch to let him know it was her son, Chip, and the anchor and rope are theirs.  Jamie will return their equipment with thanks and said although as Jane had mentioned, the "winter buoy" is somewhat off the mark, he will be sure to relocate the buoy properly in the spring.  

Thanks to the Milne family for being vigilant and taking action!   Jamie and Marie have the buoys out ready to be cleaned and stored for the winter.  The season is over except for a few die-hards who may not have taken their boats out of the water yet - and no wonder, with the exceptional weather we've been having!  The buoys will be out this spring as soon as there's open water, more or less.  I think there have been times when Jamie has been out there setting buoys when there have still been bergs in the water.
