So I'm heading away from the pack last week and just looking for some open space to not catch fish. I was just off the pink in 100 feet of water when I decided to head towards QB. At that point I MIGHT have been skirting the navigation channel but not likely, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt there. I see a freighter heading out from under the bridge but pay no real attention because the entire harbor is clear, plenty of room to go inside. Right away he gives me a long blast so I change course and head straight towards shore. He veers to starboard even more. Then he gives me 5 huge blasts so I gun it. I'm now doing 8 mph with gear out clearly heading immediately to shore. Nothing more I can do whatsoever. He proceeds to maintain his course and gives me 5 more huge blasts as he crosses behind me about 200 feet away at full steam. I didn't know what the hell to think. I was pissed off but thought to myself that no way I'd get any support here so why ask, especially after the interactions on the reports page. But the more I think about it I can't help but think I did everything I could. He went well North of the QB which made no sense to me. Is that a normal route they take?
