My chart shows an orange/white buoy, 4 yellow buoys, a lit green buoy, and a lit yellow buoy to the north. If you see a buoy through your binoculars (you do have them, right?) and you don't reference them on your chart (you do carry a chart, right?) then you deserve to run aground. This is well marked in my experience.
There is nothing -- absolutely nothing -- half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats.
