63204 is the most relevant of the Channel buoys for us Channel swimmers.

62094 (aka M5) is the “home buoy” for the Waterford Coast. I look at it so much that I forgot that many of you won’t be familiar with it. Here are all 6 irish offshore buoys. Note M1 is now M6 (and has been for over a year).

Note: Offshore water temperature on the M5 is ALWAYS higher than the coast.

Any confusion about what you’re looking at just let me know. I’m heading out the door for my last 4 hour so no time for more right now.
