Hi Frank,

I think it is great what you do to try and keep people aware. The scheduled removal of the west SB channel weather buoy is a huge problem. Marty would be a good guy to talk to and let him know how important it is to the users of the channel islands. Frankly it would be dangerous to remove it.

Opportunities like this should not be missed. I have trips Thursday and Friday if there is time between trips I will show up. But anyone that can participate in this should.
