Cold snook

I was finally able to drag Pam out of the sleeping bag, and we took the bicycles across to town in the dinghy. We ate lunch at the Loose Caboose, and "shopped." We also stopped in Widdens. Interesting.
This afternoon, we toured the canals in the dinghy. Near the end of every canal were hunderts of cold snook. They were floating just below the surface, letting the sun warm them. The tide doesn't flow through the dead end canals, so the water stays warmer. There were some big old snooks over four feet long. It looked to me like they were in state of "suspended animation."
So here's a question. Who has the right of way in the second photo? The vessel with the propeller on the front, or the rubber boat?
