All right, last night was one-too-many all-round, flashing white lights used as an anchor light. The rules, as well as those who write and interpret them,courts included, mandate all-round white lights for an anchor light. A vessel can show other lights, if they don't obscure the white light, but a flashing white light is not a substitute for an anchor light. Furthermore, a flashing white light in Inland Rules territory indicates distress. *Rudy & Jill Sechez * *BRINEY BUG-a 34' Sail-Assisted Trawler * *850-832-7748* *www.trawlertrainingabc.com <http://www.trawlertrainingabc.com>* *Beaufort SC Southbound*
