They do move, but they don't move early or fast enough, as far as we am concerned. They are just all about fishing and others be damned. It is not just one or two boats either, if there are no waves, or sorta calm, there is a swarm of what I consider lake boats at the mouth of the inlet. You pick your best course and hold it. They will move but it is nutty.

There are two gambling ships that use this inlet which is very constricted for them. It is bad enough for a wee little sail boat. The fisher folk play the same game with the gambling ships. It really is nuts.

Later,
