GREEN BUOY

Print size: 7 1/8" x 11 1/8"

This is a green buoy to mark the left side of the channel and keep ships in safe deep water. Since we see one of these every time we come in to port, we like to keep this one on the left side of our front door.

Green buoys, for those of you who didn't know, are always given odd numbers. Large buoys like this one are also often swarming with sea lions in our neck of the woods.

Tom Crestodina, an Alaskan fisherman, began making cutaway drawings in 2011 to connect with his young son, Franio, while he was out at sea.
