Last Tuesday we went for a cruise. There's a channel to get from the marina through the harbor and out into Erie. Pretty clearly marked with red and green bouys. There was a small boat fishing anchored pretty much in the middle of the channel. I slowed down to try and reduce my wake. I could see his line running into the water and knew it was in my direction. I steered out to the edge of the channel markers and he gave me a dirty look and pointed to his line. I can't repeat here my response.
I don't have a chart for this harbor. My rig probably doesn't need to stay in the channel but I don't know how deep it is outside the channel markers. I see other boats my size running through the harbor so I 'could' have gone outside the channel to stay further way. But mr. fish isn't going to pay for repairs if I run it aground. Who has the right of way?
