It's really obvious to me what this is, but I thought maybe it wouldn't be to everyone, so what the hell...

It isn't obvious to the rest of us!  Is it a buoy on water?

I was beginning to wonder if it was just too obvious to bother stating!

Yes, a particular kind of buoy -- extra credit for figuring out what kind.

Mooring buoy, designating whose spot it is?

Or does it signify that the boat owner is armed and dangerous! ; )

Oops, that would be a 357...

It's a marking buoy for a crabpot, also known as a crab trap.  The yellow bit is my kayak...

We had a big old Chesapeake Bay built wooden boat, for about 12 years. We kept it on the lower Potomac near Leonardtown, Md. If I can dig up a scanable photo I'll post it.
