42057 Buoy Adrift!

The Western Caribbean buoy is adrift. As of this post 23/1009Z data is not being transmitted to the NDBC site. Present Data cutoff is 6/22/05 2150Z.
42057 mooring position was 14.99 N 79.99 W (14°59'25" N 79°59'27" W)
It appears to be drifting NW. It's .35 N and 2.1 W of the moored position.

ByTheWay-this buoy is 10m (32.8 ft) in diameter and yellow. So it should be rather obvious to marine traffic. Probably to aircraft as well. Statement from the NDBC is below.

"Station 42057 went adrift on 06/14/2005 and the last report from its moored position (listed above) was at 0642Z. It is still transmitting valid observation data, which continue to be reported here, but with only this daily update of its location. The 1042Z position on 06/21/2005, is 15°22'10' N 81°04'04" W."
