I'm sure it was in his interests that I didn't foul his nets. I've nearly fouled nets in the Ramsgate Channel before. I believe it's about education; both for pleasure users and fishermen. I've learnt that, here in the channel, if I see a raised flag then look for another. When I've located both go outside one or the other. To some this may seem obvious, but if you are new to sailing then you don't neccessarily know this.

There are problems here with pot marking. Some are well marked and others are definately not.
