Is this a change in the rules or is a Fl or just a local rule. Seems a little foolish, and a waste of battery power, in a location that wants to appear enviornmental friendly. ******* Tom, I am not an authority on Colregs, but at the other end of the country, up on Lake Superior, the National Park Service requires that boats at anchor in the Apostle Islands National Park have a lighted anchor light at night. In fact, they send their patrol boats out at dusk every night to enforce the rule. Seems like a good idea to me. I can't imagine anchoring at night in an area known to have traffic and not having my anchor light on.
