Wikipedia defines a channel as "the dredged and marked lane of safe travel which a cognizant governmental entity guarantees to have a minimum depth across its specified minimum width to all vessels transiting a body of water".
I recognize this is a Wikipedia definition and may not be accurate, but I don't think the Barber's Pole passage qualifies as a channel since it is neither dredged nor does it have a marked lane. The Graveyard might be considered a channel since it is marked, but I don't think it is dredged.
Regardless, I think it's foolish to anchor in a place that obstructs traffic.
