Workflow

Spoiler
This workflow feels like an absolute mess and map layers had me stumped for a bit but I got there in the end anyway 😅

My solution! Man, I LOVE Spatial tools... Super fun challenge!

 

Spoiler
Took the strategy of organizing the buoy points (using my favorite secret weapon tool, the Make Columns tool, of course), and then building bounding rectangles around those point pairs... then to find the center point between them, I simply used the Spatial Info tool to find the centroid of the bounding rectangle. From there, it was just a matter of building the reporting snippet with the various components (probably a more efficient way to build the map, but at least this method made it very clear which layer I was formatting...)

A little messy 'cause I didn't take the time to organize the tools! 😁 Also, need to up my reporting game...
