I saw this somewhere .. go get a yard solar light, Lowes/Home Depot ... the
kind you put along the walk way.

I guess I can leave one out ,, it will power up ,,, use it at the mooring ..

Any thought on yard solar lights for sailboats?

Great idea. I was thinking about that too. But descided to use one for
a deck light.

Check at the back of the USCG ColRegs. There is a section that defines
anchor light AKA all around white light, for the size vessel you sail.
They seem to be concerned the acnhor ligt needs to be seen and USCG has
standards. Go figure.

Or thumb through your WM catalogue. They'll tell you.
Lets see. Your anchored. Got your lawn light glowing at night. A boat
runs you down. You turn in an insurance claim and the company trys to
get the other guy to pay for damages, the other operator says I did see
the boat in time to manauver (you). Insuarnce asks why? No anchor light
was visible, Youre screwed. But hey, you saved 50 bucks.
