No worries thanks DGF but now I am confused the first reply I got said yes so which is it. The markers I am talking about are the channel markers on wooden poles.The one in particular is between Lemon Tree passage and Fenningham Island caravan park. Norto.

Scienceman Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Also be aware that the term "channel" doesn't mean a straight line between two markers. If the channel bends then you cannot be in the deeper water even if it is between and well to the side of a chanel marker. I did and was asked to move, despite there being plenty of empty water for craft moving between the markers to travel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norto Posted May 5, 2010 Author Share Posted May 5, 2010 Thanks Gazza, Yeah mate I have anchored before but not in this spot as I was not sure of the different rules and I wanted to be as close to this particular channel marker as possible.
