Just my two cents!
How far from buoy 3 are you? You must be pretty close.
With your naked eye (I assume you don't own a radar gun) you know exactly how fast boats are going, and you can tell the difference between those boats going 45 and those going 60.

Amazing. You should work for the NH State Police, they could use a highly trained observer such as yourself.
