On the first and last one cited, I agree. On the traffic separation zone,

don't think it would make a difference. Just because someone is using the
correct lane for their course, doesn't give them license to ignore the

That could depend on the application of Rule 10 (j)

(j) A vessel of less than 20 meters in length or a sailing vessel
shall not impede the safe passage of a power driven vessel following a
traffic lane.

This would not apply as Roger's chart does not show a TSZ.

Interesting... There doesn't appear to be any language about size of vessel
using the separation zone. I can just imagine a skiff claiming rights. :-)
