<br>
You might try to create lines from the boat tracks (see examples
in manual for ST_MakeLine) and circles (st_buffer) from the
proximity areas around the buoy.<br>
Now do a ST_Intersection(boatline, bouycircle). The result
should be a set of lines within the bouycircle. Every line
stands for one pass along the bouy.<br>
I think ST_Intersection might result in a geometry collection of
lines and points so you would have to make a dump of the result
with ST_Dump and then select only the lines.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Tom<br>

<font face="monospace">Elegant thinking but that would end up in a
*single* line, as I only have the timestamp and (point)geom to
work with.<br>
Thanks for your input though :)<br>
