Here is my problem and question(s);

I'm on the Hood Canal. Plenty of open water and little or no water traffic.
However, there are no bouy lines, nav aids or designated ranges (there are
some navy ranges, but these are restricted).

Break out your charts, and look for other things ..... distinct points
of land, that line up; charted structures (stacks, buildings, spires,
etc.), that you can line up with points of land, etc., to give you a
range with a known bearing.... dock facilities, breakwaters ..... as I
say, anything that will give a range and bearing you can use (I'd
probably stay away from buoys, except as a last resort).
