Light #29

With this light between Mark and Bear Island there are two black and two red spar buoys. I have traveled this route for 50 years. Today all of a sudden a woman coming from Mark Island in a Monterrey boat with full storm canvas came right out in front of me! I was assuming she didn't see me through the Plexiglas so I came to a complete stop from 30 mph.

She zips down a curtain and was screaming at me that this is a channel so this is a no wake zone? I politely told her that it is not designated as a no wake zone and only when one is 150' or less to another boat. She insist this is a no wake zone and that from now on to proceed at headway speed. She than proceed to tell another boater coming through the channel. I took off.

Humor me, has the law change regarding this passage?
