Hi guys.
While lying at anchor at sea doing some fishing with my ski boat displaying my anchor buoyi (ball) in broad daylight, a chokka trawler were about 2nm from me also on anchor decided to change spot and lifted his anchor and came over to me almost running me over. I mean so close that I could see pimples on his face on his bridge, and if I did not pull my anchor and moved, he would have run me over at my location. I tried getting him on the radio before I moved to ensure he sees me. No response.
As far as I know the vessel at anchor has right of way, and vessels under power must navigate around!!!
Am I wrong??? I took this picture after the incident.
