I saw the same boat pass very far to the wrong side of both FL12 and FL13 yesterday morning, heading toward Lee's Mill. FL 12 is pretty close to Twin Islands and the exposed rocks around them, so I can understand that mistake. I have seen may people pass safely on the wrong side of it as well, so perhaps it is poorly placed, but FL13 is in a big group of spars that really stand out in the morning sun and I can't fathom what would make someone think that passing through the middle of a bunch of red and black topped spars surrounding exposed rocks is a good idea.
I always thought that area was pretty easy to navigate.
