      Reported as CGJK stationary weather buoy off Victoria BC CANADA, is actually a mobile weather station on a coast guard ship (CCGS Sir Wilfrid Laurier) and is currently in the arctic ocean! Therefore incorrectly reported as local weather current conditions.

      Great site!

        This case is similar to another « ghost » buoy on W Florida:
        https://community.windy.com/topic/6250/buoy-report-is-wrong-or-the-reported-location-is-wrong
        Either the data base that Windy use, do not update the position of moving weather station
        Or Windy do not update their position from the data base.
        It is necessary to know more about that issue.
