Buoy Hunters: Coast Guard repairs massive navigational beacons From: New Haven Register | Date: April 29, 2007| Author: Michael Gannon | Copyright 2007 New Haven Register. Provided by ProQuest LLC.Copyright information

The crew of the Coast Guard cutter Juniper, cruising in the Atlantic Ocean just south of Long Island, spotted the rogue buoy last week. The crew secured the massive metal structure and got a closer look. They were amazed.

"It's supposed to mark the approach to the entrance to the channel for Boston Harbor. It got ripped from its anchor by the nor'easter, " said the Juniper's skipper, Lt. Cmdr. Rick Wester.

Since the April 15 storm, the buoy had drifted more than 100 miles.
