Hey, stupid, it's rude an illegal to shine a spotlight anywhere
near the helm of a vessel underway.

After posting a query about adding a tricolor masthead light, I had a
interesting moment.
Friday night, local storms, but still a pretty black night. We had just
passed
a pair of large ships with some sort of structure between them. To port
Suzanne
spotted some type of structure showing two green and a white. The greens
were
stacked and I thought I could make out some type of structure. Some kind
of
floating rig? I looked away and when I turned back I could see that it
was
a
HUGE sloop. She was running dual nav lights, on the masthead and hull.
She
was
also running her anchor light. As she sailed by we ran our spot. Her
sails
were
some kind of silver/black material. They looked black mostly.
Running her dual lights was confusing. I suspect she was going for
better
visibility in the thick haze. She slid past us easily (we were doing
about
6
knots) and quickly dissapeared. So much for running dual lights.

Which goes to show that money can be very stupid
