it could be a buoy in the trashbag

but
no maritime boundary markers of any kind anywhere have ever
been reported at bp
& i can vouch that none are normally visible from shore
on caus & mxus for example
except perhaps for the variable hinge buoy near the mouth of the
rio grand
which is probably the only one of its kind in the world anyway

& only 1 inland sea boundary marker has ever been reported
the one harry walked to at wadlopen in message 8423
also likely to be unique

& only 1 sweetwater boundary buoy has ever been reported
the former global maxipoint apparent in lake okeechobee


now such evident scarcity doesnt necessarily mean boundary
buoys are quite so rare to nonexistent as they may seem to be
for there is after all an awful lot of ocean out there that nobody
has looked at very carefully yet
but i think the odds are very long against there being a buoy in
any given boundary location

there might be a line of buoys to mark the chunnel location
& the middlemost one of them might be distinguishable as such
but any actual frgb buoy would utterly surprise & delight me

& as for a whole line of frgb buoys
or of any other kind of boundary buoys for that matter
well
that would positively flabbergast me

still
if there was enough of a reason for a particular buoy or line of
buoys to exist
like any particular economic reason for example
then i suppose it would exist
