I had a similar experience a few years after we started boating on the lake. I knew The Witches were coming up, looked for and found the buoy and adjusted my course to keep me clear. But it didn't look right. The next marker wasn't where I thought it should be. At the last second I powered down to take a better look. I then realized I was out of position from where I had thought I was and if I had continued I would have entered the ring. I am always exceedingly cautious in that area now and double check my GPS position (did not have GPS then). The almost was close enough an experience for me. I'm glad you made it out safe (shaken but not stirred?).
