Please stay the hell OFF the water until you have a chance to read the
COLREGS and understand them. You are DANGEROUS.

Holy crap, what an idiot.

Depends, was where they were for shiping? I can't believe barges are
considered to be the right of way near anchorage points for example. No
mater what their size.

Hey, for that mater does a barge get the right to go over a marked
swiming area because it is navigatable?

Marked anchorages are there to park and do stuff like sleep or go to
shore. And ANY craft just a barreling though is out of line. You read
the regs ... Anchorages and swiming areas, out of control barges would
be guilty as it gets.
