Cherbourg to Barfleur. Missing bouys?

[GeoffW]

Are the 'La Pierre Noire', 'Basse de Renier', & 'Les Equets' bouys still on station? I did the trip last summer and some of the bouys were 'missing'. I can not find any references to thier removal in the chart correction sites, but have heard from others that they did not see the bouys last year.

Can confirm all 3 were definitely on station last August

I took a boat from St Vaast round to Cherbourg at Easter this year and they were all there.

The French removed some several years ago but the ones that were left were as charted last year and I saw a couple flashing to the east as expected at Easter this year en route to Cherbourg.

In the summer of 2003 there were some missing, can't say which ones now, but all the same they were missing

 

[Magic_Sailor]

Yes, I found this as well.

I also recollect the red can outside the pass of the east missing.

They were replaced with bUOys, I suspect!
