Not so far from where we are moored, there is a channel that is well marked and a few times a week gets some big barge and tug traffic... Most of it at night or in the very early hours. Over the months we have been here we have lost track of cruisers who have anchored right in the middle of the of the channel... Scary that.
I guess they figure the folks on the tug and barge are going to keep an eye out for them because they expect folks to be anchoring in the middle of a channel... Then again maybe it is just the gene pool cleansing itself.
For proof of just the sort of watch-keeping you might expect from some professional mariners you might want to check out The Old Salt Blog...
Seriously scary shit!
