What is This?

Does anyone know what this is? On the right of the (whatever) in the foreground is some kind of station with a shack and machinery. A boat comes and visits it from time to time. Whatever this is stays a few days, and then the boat comes and moves it somewhere else. At one point, maybe they were drawing nets up, but it was night. I could see silvery flashes – fish? – but it also may have been moonlight. . .

The two pieces shown seem to be related. The closest seems to be rusty pipe on floats. The second is linked floats . . . but I cannot figure out what they are doing.

  2. Maze, yeh that must be it. Like let’s put something big and obvious out in the bay with rusty pipes on floats and visit it now and then . . . . and hope no one notices???? I dunno . . . .

  3. Perhaps a fuelling station? Or a big buoy like structure?

  4. I wish I knew! I kinda like Maze’s drug smuggling idea. At first I thought no! Too public, too out-in-the-open and then like, hmmmm, hide it in plain sight. . . .it is a mystery to me.

  6. Abdulaziz – I think you are probably right. Just before it left, the boat came and I saw all these silvery sparkles, but it was also a moonlit night and I couldn’t be totally sure it wasn’t moonlight. From time to time, though, I do see silvery sparkles (fish jumping) even in the daytime. These must be enormously rich waters . .. . so much fish in the markets, and so many being caught every day!
