Reviews
"I've paddled by it numerous times in my kayaks and paddle board."
"Luoy the Buoy is brightest at night; He blinks a happy hello. Marking his spot with a strong red light, Steadfast as the tides ebb and flow. His presence is distant, but constant, ‘Cept for his short sojourn away. Were it not for Emma’s persistence, He might still be missing today. Oh Luoy the Buoy, I love you; Your bobbing brings me such delight. Please stay on the Hudson forever, And always in Emily’s sight."
"If I could give Luoy six stars, I would. He really is kind of like a star himself, , a bit distant, something to look at from afar. Like a star that twinkles, he floats and bobs, but still stays in the same spot. But this is not the only way he is a contradiction - if you were to ride a boat to him, or swim (not recommended), you'd find he's much larger then he appears from shore. But he doesn't make a big deal of it. He's a modest buoy. Not flashy at all. Well... Only so much as he has to be to perform his duties in directing tugboats and other crafts. Two thumbs up!"
"There once was a buoy named Luoy, Who lived in the Hudson, by George! Once went on vacation, Alarming a nation, But's now safely back in the gorge."
