Most of the markers are still in place though not all are represented accurately on the Navionics chart -https://webapp.navionics.com/#boating@11&key=%7Dx%7DoBjhvgK.

The one tricky area coming thru the BEYC-Saba Rock Passage is as you approach the 2nd red buoy just north of the BEYC barge dock on the north tip of VG. There is a patch of coral heads that I've measured a few times at ~6.5 ft deep (and I don't know what the tide level was). Perhaps they are sometimes shallower. It's difficult to see this patch when entering the passage from North Sound in the AM or exiting to North Sound in the PM.
