It is generally not a accepted practice to pass someone in a channel....
Years ago I can remember the MP getting after people in the Six Pack where this behavior had started to make that channel dangerous...(it is not a no wake zone).... That said not sure if it is a law, or not....in the Case of the Six Pack at issue was speed and proximity, so I am sure the violations handed out where for the 150' rule.
Now there have been times where I have yielded and allowed people around me.... especially in the Wiers Channel.... when bigger cruisers have come up behind me, needing to go faster for steerage... But that is an altogether different issue.... and has to do more with my awareness of what is going on around me.....
In Sally's Gut, there really is no room to pass, so people shouldn't be trying to do so!!!!!!!!!!
