Default Anchorage identification and boarding techniques

Really? Has anyone ever explained to you how to read a chart? All those
designated anchorages do NOT require an anchor light.


Nor do most designated mooring areas spracht the harbormaster.

I always put my light on wherever I am anchored just because it gives me a
nice warm fuzzy feeling and indicates that I am anchored rather than on a
mooring so my watch circle could be larger. I sometimes put it on even in
designated mooring areas if there is a lot of boat traffic and visibility
is poor.

Clearly though, someone's nautical knowledge is showing itself a bit thin.

I also put mine on even if it isn't required. A small bit of piece of
mind...
