As long as you don't mind being bumped into and can pay the damage your
insurance company won't pay for.

There are very few anchorages where an anchor light is not required by regs.

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

Thanks, salty, at least there are a few around who know what the term
"designated anchorage" means. Of course given that there are so many
who don't, it is probably prudent to bathe your vessel under the light
of magnesium parachute flares every 10 minutes, lest the likes of Jere
slam into you at 3 in the morning returning from some God forsaken
watering hole.
