Observe narrow channel rules

The Marina waterways are a Narrow Channel/Fairway per Maritime Rule Part 22.9

The following rules apply:

A vessel proceeding along the course of a narrow channel or fairway must keep as near to the outer limit of the channel or fairway which lies on its starboard side as is safe and practicable.
A vessel must not cross a narrow channel or fairway if such crossing impedes the passage of a vessel which can safely navigate only within that channel or fairway.
Kayaks, SUPs, dinghies must not impede the passage of a larger vessel which can safely navigate only within a narrow channel or fairway.
