Two
new buoys to be sited in waters off Burnham-On-Sea
 Boat
owners using the waters of Bridgwater Bay now have several new
buoys to help them navigate their way past Burnham-On-Sea.
A
formal Notice To Mariners has been issued by Burnham's Harbour
Master, Chris Spencer, alerting water users to the new navigation
aids and relocation of existing buoys to make the channel safer.
The
changes see a new buoy - to be called number 4 - introduced which
will be green and conical-shaped and located at LAT 51° 12'.95
North, LONG 03° 01'.2 West. This buoy was initially put in
place on a trial basis earlier in June but was found cast adrift
after apparently being tampered with and it will therefore be
replaced shortly.
A further new buoy - to be called number 3 - will also be green
and conical-shaped and positioned at LAT 51° 14 North, LONG
03° 00'.9 West.
Among the other changes are the removal of the Stert Island beacon
and a new location for the current number 2 buoy, which is being
moved to LAT 51° 14'.5 North, LONG 03° 01'.2 West. Completing
the changes, Burnham's number one buoy is being moved to LAT 51°
14'.22 North, LONG 03° 04'.58 West.
