there is NO narrow channel anywhere between eastern LIS and the Throgs Neck
Bridge at the western end. There IS a marked channel (wide) in several
places,
and there IS a marker buoy in deep water just about the TN Bridge, but that is
it.


Its a good thing you don't actually sail, jaxie, you'd be a hazard to everyone!

The approach to the TN Bridge is most certainly a "Narrow Channel" for some
vessels. Its a bit over 600 yards, which means that the "lane" in each
direction is about 200 yards. Are you claiming that all vessels that pass
through there can easily maneuver around any small boat traffic? Can you tell
which vessels can't in the dark? Forcing a tow to make a serious alteration of
speed or course would certainly be considered "impeding" if anything went wrong.

jeffies, *obviously* you have never been THERE. now, shut the f**k up and go
to sleep.

You don't even have to go there, just look at a chart. But we know you don't
like to do that.

I have been there.

so many times I don't even have to guess where the "Cuban Ledge" is.

What? You're naming a local feature (that appears on any chart) to try to
convince us you've been there??? Only someone who has never been there would
bother doing something as silly as that!

you kidding? the size of that thing makes it impossible not to notice.

Even more so than a tug with a barge in tow all lit up at night.
