Here’s one that has me somewhat baffled. We were fishing halibut on West Constance. There was another boat north of us 1/4 mile away and two boats in a line east of him on the north edge of the bank. A container ship came in from the south and proceeded to anchor on Constance Bank. Then there was a call on channel 16 from Victoria traffic stating that there were 3 boats anchored on Constance Bank and they were impeding a container ship that was anchoring and were were not allowed to anchor there and must leave the area immediately. I checked on my GPS which has the travel lane on it and neither me or any of the other boats were in the travel lane.
How are we in the wrong? Does this mean that Victoria traffic claims all of Constance bank and we aren’t allowed to fish there.
The ship entered Constance from the south which was wide open with no boats anywhere and turned west into the tide and wind and anchored. I just don’t get this.
