Morning Buoy in Maine

Need a little serenity?
Imagine sitting on a dock, low tide, early morning before the wind even wakes up enough to ripple the water, and of all the sounds there is a buoy a little off in the distance, tolling the day in.
Play the VoiceOver, above, to listen. You may have to crank up the volume, that’s how serene the audio is.
All the Best,
Geoff

Very nice. There is a lost appreciation for the daybreak hour. My neighbor goes to our county park on the Gulf at dawn and takes photos of wildlife, birds of all types. I listened to the piece with a set of full, over-the-ear headphones. There's quite a bit there. You can hear the distant hum of a ship's diesel engines. Our house is about 6 miles from the Skyway shipping channel which opens to the Gulf. In the middle of the night I can hear that same hum penetrating the night as I lie in bed. The channel has buoys in place to the last one 15 miles out, called the Whistler. It makes sound from wave action and a float that forces air in a chamber. On a foggy day or night, you can steer your boat in circles, and the waves will cause it to blow and identify its direction. Find it and head east to get back home.
