Any magellian GPS will work and show movement.

If you are on anchor or stopped at sea you need someone
on watch. No if
and or butts about it.

Weather you are on anchor or tied to a rig someone
needs to be awake
and on watch.

b.. (b) A vessel of less than 50 meters in length may exhibit an all-round
white light where it can best be seen instead of the lights prescribed in
paragraph (a) of this Rule.


c.. (c) A vessel at anchor may, and a vessel of 100 meters or more in
length shall, also use the available working or equivalent lights to
illuminate her decks.

Isn't that related to size of vessel? I can't remember
and
it's late here.

Technically you should show an anchor ball, right?

If the holding is good and you're only going to be
there a
short time, and
it's during the day, you don't need an anchor
light,
and
you don't need to
keep a watch. Why two anchors? Is the bottom that
lousy
or
the wind/current
shifting that much? How did you deploy?

I wasn't thinking of using it at sea. What I had
in
mind
was anchoring
behind Red Fish Island, with two anchors, and
taking a
nap. I have one on
my Garmin chartplotter, but I think I need a
backup.

Jim


Any magellian GPS will work and show movement.

If you are on anchor or stopped at sea you need
someone
on watch. No if
and or butts about it.

Weather you are on anchor or tied to a rig
someone
needs to be awake
and on watch.

That doesn't


make them incompetent as Doctors. They just

under pressure.


Indeed they do...not a job I'd wan't to deal

Pays pretty good.
High burnout average and turnover. I bet it's
high

IMO Rob should publish that best seller, or

provide Suzy with a less stressfull life.
