[QUOTE="richg99, post: 441952, member: 4376"] Yesterday a buddy and I went fishing. He asked where the channel was (he was running my boat). I showed him the Green and Red marker buoys, and said "Red on Right Returning". Amazingly, he had not heard that before. All was well until we came back up the channel. He was following the Red on Right Returning rule. However, two other boaters, in a large bass boat, were pumping mud out of their 200 hp motor while stuck on a flat. The actual channel ran close to a marina with some larger boats moored in its slips. It was also a No-Wake-Zone. How those guys got 100 yards off-line I'll never know. They finally raised the engine and blew mud out about 50 feet and cleared the soft bottom. I doubt that they knew anything about the "rules of the road" on the water. The clearly missed the channel. They had come OUT of the same channel when they left earlier, so they must have gotten lucky and missed the shallowest portion of the flat. I thought I'd just post a reminder for anyone interested. richg99 https://greatlakes.coastguard.dodlive.mil/2014/05/red-right-return-home-alive/ [/QUOTE]
