Zusammenfassung:	Disclosed herein are systems employing a power generating buoy separate from a host buoy but connected via tether, allowing the power generating buoy to be distant from the host buoy (e.g. an observational buoy) so as to minimize the impact of the power generating buoy on the host buoy. The tether is connected at one end to the power generating buoy and connectable to a floating host buoy, wherein the tether further comprises means for transferring power generated by the power-generating buoy to the host buoy; and wherein the tether is adapted to allow for independent movement of the power-generating buoy relative to the host buoy, and has no substantial hydrodynamic effect on or from the host buoy when connected.
