[Rhodes22-list] anchor light

[Joe Babb]

Hi Joe,
This is just my opinion.  It's important to have some kind of light to 
burn at night even when you are out of the channel and on an inland 
lake.  Here in East Tennessee we usually have a report at least once a 
year of either bass boaters or jet skiers running into docks or other 
things late at night.  A nice secluded cove is no protection.  Any light 
is good.  It doesn't mean a drunken boater will see you, but maybe it 
will make some difference.  We have an all around light on the masthead 
which works for anchor or steaming according to CG.  Some people hang a 
lantern in the rigging for an anchor light.
Best,
Joe
