Structure off North Foreland

[MX51ROD]

Had a day of driving Kent coast , whilst at Broadstairs we saw a structure approximately NNE of where we were on the esplanade it was some miles out . it looked like a boat or something similar, had a white or light coloured finish , it appeared to be near the wind turbine farm , and it did not move , the one day I forgot my binoculars
No amount of Googling will throw any light in what it might be , It is certainly not one of the war time Munsell Towers , just would be interested if anyone local to Broadstairs/Ramsgate etc might know

I'll have a listen out of the Coastguard Whisky Zulu navigation warnings if I remember. I live on the east coast by the sea and the river so the marine band is usually on.

EDIT: Nope I'm wrong, its the wrong direction from Broadstairs so ignore me!

I sailed round the coast line the other week and whilst off Brighton there was a survey/drilling ship with a tall pylon like structure anchored off about 5nm from land with a smaller fishing trawler type vessel with survey scanning equipment off the port side in the vicinity of it. Potentially it could be the saw vessel.

Not today but I think I heard the other day about a survey vessel streaming something and requiring a wide berth
