IF it's a designated anchorage- if just anchored out, best show it - Particularly in Florida watersCOLREGS do not use the terms masthead and anchor light. While at anchor they call for a 360 degree white light. And yes in a mooring field you do not need to show, while on an actual mooring or at anchor.
Yep, but even this can be wierd. Here is the huge mooring field just off the Coconut Grove YC in Miami. Note there is no designation on the NOAA chart, but for sure these boats sit with lights off.IF it's a designated anchorage- if just anchored out, best show it - Particularly in Florida waters
I thought that is why they made those "Lisa" lights. You can hang them in the cockpit and have them on/flash/colors. Or you can try one of the LED light packs.to find their own boat... rowing back 'home' after happy hour on a friend's boat....... in the dark
Meriachee is this your opinion or do you have a reference? The COLREGS do not seem to make a distinction between anchored and moored. I always thought them to be synonymous.a mooring is not the same as an anchor.
Whooaa. This is much better than any court of law... We have the court of boaters opinion. Much more fun and the rules are relaxed. I say we just decide what is right and then put into practice. If enough folks start thinking like we do well it reminds me of a song...I think that it could only legally be resolved in a court of law.
And then his lake neighbour would start a March for Light event and then it would go on and on and on.The No Light Needed for @Meriachee Movement.
And we could all march to the PUB...then it would go on and on and on.
