Yachting And Boating World: Pot Markers In The Main Shipping Channel Yachting and boating World s Forums includes Reader to Reader practical handson with too many difficulties in benign weather, but strong wind over tide http://www.ybw.com/forums/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/369969/an/0/page/4
Extractions: Although the Solent is wide at the western entrance, the main channel, through which the majority of ships and yachts pass, is narrow. Not a piece of water fraught with too many difficulties in benign weather, but strong wind over tide conditions have been known to overcome vessels up to 100'. The perils are there to be read, consult the tidal streams and the charts, sometimes ' here be dragons'. Nevertheless, fishermen find it proper to further hazard shipping by the seemingly indiscriminate distribution in this main channel of pot markers which become buried in the ebb and flood 4 knot tides. This is a selfish act that should result in heavy fines. If my vessel, as a result of being fouled by an unmarked buried pot-marker and its piece of rope, should be damaged, have its rudder torn off, its bracket twisted, its prop shaft drawn, or be sunk by any such deliberately positioned obstuction, who should I turn to for retribution?

Extractions: I'd welcome any guidance on passage planning - including suggested routes - esp. around the Pointe du Raz, Bay of Biscay (take the most direct sailable passage - or go offsore into Atlantic to avoid any bad weather/sea state?), the Gulf of Cadiz and the Straits of Gibraltar. Are tidal factors significant?
Extractions: Commercial ships have doubled in size, waterborne commerce has tripled, and the number of small boats and recreational water craft has increased during the last 50 years. More than 95 percent of U.S. foreign trade (by weight) passes through U.S. ports and harbors. Half of all materials shipped through U.S. waters are hazardous. There are approximately 12 million registered recreational water vessels, an estimated 50 percent increase in the last 20 years. Although recreational boating deaths have decreased during the last 30 years, the number of accidents and injuries have steadily climbed. Not knowing the "rules of the road," or how to read navigational charts, can be just as dangerous as not using life jackets. There are designated "traffic lanes" shown on nautical charts for some waterways and coastal ocean areas. Large ships use these lanes to avoid collisions. A large freighter or tanker traveling at full speed can take miles to stop. Even at slower speeds, large ships take a long time to stop or turn. A boating or shipping accident doesn't hurt only the people directly involved. A seaside vacation, swimming, water sports even a walk on the beach could be ruined by oil or chemical spills. Harm to fish and wildlife could be immeasurable. Seafood could become more expensive or more difficult to find due to spills, collisions or ships running aground. The price of goods carried on large ships can increase, along with everyone's insurance rates, as a result of costly accidents.
