Bob.  It happens all the time on both the high seas and in the air.  Both planes and ships try and cut the corner as tightly as possible and sometimes "nick" it...most of the time it is just people who unintentionally got a little close.  Both the FAA and USCG are usually pretty forgiving about it.
