Displaced mark

Related to this question.

Had a fun race last summer in a Bay with 1-2 mile legs. We followed GPS to where one of the marks should have been and it was not there. Another boat thought they saw it 1 mile off position.

End result was one boat rounded where mark should have been while the other sailed over a mile off course. Many friendly arguments ensued since this was a Guys vs the Girls match.

What is the official ruling? The Race Captain was on one of the boats so opinion may have been biased.

Regards,

Mike
