No its about 2 miles SSE from Breaksea Point.The exact position isnt critical to the question just the general area.

As you would be close to the channel leading into Nash Passage, you would experiance a strong tidal flow and overfalls as shown on the chart around St Donats Point .

No. Probably not a good question as you need a chart to spot the problem.So Ill wind this one up.
Pilot boarding area "A" for vessells constrained by draught is in position 3 miles WNW from the Breaksea racon buoy.There is a prohibited anchorage all around the area and as far up as just East of the Merkur buoy. also you wouldnt want something like this
 turning up in the middle of your lunch. 
230 meters LOA and 14 meters draught.
Someone else want to do the next Question?

Graham I was thinking of the Breaksea Buoy which used to be off the power station. Using an old chart of course. Not the Breaksea Racon.

Is it the inside of a lighthouse?The stone steps look very worn so must be old.Other than that no idea.

Yes - it's the inside of a lighthouse! Big clue: it was too high.
