From someone's previous post..
"The 34 foot boat coming out of Glendale was entering a "channel" between Locke Island and Glendale and coming from a slip or a mooring (coming out of a no-wake zone into an ulimited speed zone), and therefore was not the stand-on vessel, even if it was off your starboard quarter. The boats in the channel are stand-on in this situation and the boat entering the channel should give way."

Is this true? I notice boats in the channel going by the Barber's Pole assuming R.O.W. all the time. I yield so no one gets killed. It took me a while to learn this, but legally I understand that if I'm on their starboard quarter that I'm the stand on. Please clarify "channel" ROW's. Someone's "wrong, big time" on this. Maybe it's me.
