Buoys not boys

Yup, you see a LOT of lobstah buoys in and around a lobstah town. They are everywhere, not just in the water.

For you non-Mainers, a lobstah buoy is attached by rope to the lobstah pot and marks the location of the pot for a lobstah-man. Lots and lots of buoys are lost due to bad weather, age or just forgotten. They end up as decorations hanging on many walls throughout out New England.

Each buoy is different. They are painted and marked in a way so as to uniquely identify the owner. Up hee-ah, never screw with some else's colors

Buoys make for very colorful photos.

A buoy pile ...

Are these Italian buoys??

All sorts of shape and colors ...
