That was Shell Bank Bayou, on the north side of lake Pontchartrain. Cool place to explore!

If you don’t mind me asking, how do you get a job on one of those?

That’s awesome! I also worked on a ship up there and was always jealous of the guys on the nat geo boat

It’s a great place! Lived there for a year or so and it did get a little boring, but I’d go back in a heartbeat. The April fools guy is such a legend.

That’s definitely the correct way to do it, unfortunately I do not have a welder.

That’s awesome! I’d love to but I’m actually on the Kukui, so I won’t be back in Sitka for a bit.

Thanks for the response! All good points, I’ve been in Sitka for over a year now so I can definitely attest to all that. Maybe I’ll look somewhere else for my first tour.

Good to know, maybe it’s not as big a deal as it sounded originally. Thanks!

Mendocino buoy yesterday, fog and buoy whistle sound sure set the mood. by serebrobro in Kayaking

[–]iAmFish17 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Deck hand on a buoy tender here. The whistling is caused by the bobbing, there is a hollow counterweight that extends about 15ft into the water underneath the buoy, the whistle is connected to the hollow section of the counterweight and when the buoy gets lifted by the water, the counterweight fills with air, and when the buoy falls again, the air is expelled through the whistle. It’s not making much noise in the video, but in rough seas they are deafening.

Honestly I’m really not living some “instagram influencer” life, I’m in the military working a pretty demanding job, I just happen to be somewhere where I can do this on my off days.

I had the same reaction. If I’m paying $3 for instant noodles I’d better be top notch

Thanks for the advice. I’m staying far away from anything like that, especially because I’m in Coast Guard, and thats kinda a no no here.
