Right, so we use only the fixed channel markers. Buoys would definately be
too mobile a target (and possibly not stable enough for the anemometer,
too much in the spray, etc).
At 3rd, we have a marker in the perfect location already. At Coyote,
we could put one on the outer channel marker by the harbor. In this
case, the distance to the harbor master's office is only a quarter mile
away.
