It’s hard enough trying to pronounce what it is. I’ve always said it with the U as that’s how
it’s spelt. I’m told it’s wrong but being a landlubber who lives away from the
ocean doesn’t give me many opportunities to discuss the need for a locked
heavy-duty plastic ball which bobs up and down in the water as a reference point
to some kind of zonal barrier. I wouldn’t know what the different colours are
for either. There may be a key explained on a metallic sign back on land or an
international code agreed, but it’s not in my knowledge and it doesn’t feel necessary
for me to know either. The water could be extra deep or it could be signifying
a rising bank. It could be an area to avoid or merely a point where I should
turn around to record an estimated distance. It could even be adjustable
depending on the circumstances. All I know is that it is there.
