I just finished reading about a buoy system along the Chesapeake Bay that not only give you in real time, water quality, tempature and wave heights, but a historical narrative about Captain John Smith. Each bouy has a snippet of information that lasts about three minutes. It tells of Smith’s travels and experinces that took place in the vicinity of each of the bouys. Ther are now 4 operational bouys with two more to follow this fall. The two newest bouys will be placed near the mouth of the Elizabeth and Sesquehanna Rivers. You can call the bouy system on your phone 877-286-9229 or visit their website. To read the article, click here.
