We sailed out through Burnham yesterday morning, and I'm pretty sure the No. 7 buoy was there. We sailed back at about 4pm, and I certainly didn't notice it was missing. Mosvik (timber carrying ship) was just leaving at that point, and we were out of the fairway to keep clear - maybe they hit it! Apart from them with the pilot boat, another yacht (Serenity of Totnes) and a couple of little motor boats, no one was about at all. It was a gorgeous sail, by the way!
