What makes you think those are the kids? :-)

Thanks for those links, Tom. I will be doing some studying. I suppose
the reason I'm asking all these questions about Nav. Lights is I want
to update my boat *to better standards and make it as safe as I can.

I'd leave the lights alone for now as long as they are working OK
since there are probably other things that need a look. *

Running at night is very tricky even for the experienced, and should
really be avoided when possible. *Take it real slow, especially the
first few times. * Everything that looks familiar during daylight
looks entirely different in the dark, and distances are much more
difficult to judge accurately.

Back in my sailboat days I ran literally thousands of miles in the
dark with no incidents and noradarbut with a few close calls, some
way too close for comfort. *Now that I've gotten used to running withradarat night I would never operate without it if at all possible. *

Evenradaris not perfect however. *Off the coast of the Dominican
Republic we were surprised several times by small wooden fishing
skiffs operating 12 or more miles offshore with no lights and noradar
image at all. *They are totally invisible until you are almost on
them, even in daylight. *They would see us however and either yell or
shine a light at us, not a really satisfactory way of navigating.
That's one of my reasons for recommending a goodradarreflector.

Wayne, can a person nail a coffee can onto a long stick, stand it up
and screw it onto a windshield bracket and get by?

*Ducking!*

Most coffee cans are now made of plastic, so, give it a try

In a previous post, a question was asked:

"Aren't most nav lights on or near the bow of most boats???"

Your response:

"No."

How the hell would you know whether there are more boats with side or
otherwise mounted nav lights than combo bow mounted nav lights? As there
are far more small boats than large boats, I suspect there are more
combo than split red/green nav lights on boats.

And aren't combos satisfactory for boats up to 20 meters long? That
would cover your old barge, wouldn't it? Nothing prevents you from using
sidelights. Hell, I have bow-mounted, separate nav lights on my 21'
Parker. I had the standard combo light removed to accommodate my anchor
roller:

You are a pompous ass, w'hine.


Harry, if you don't like my posts, perhaps you shouldn't read them.
I'm certainly not seeking your approval. Frankly I don't read most
of your posts, and even have you kill filed on many of my computers
because I have better things to do, you don't interest me very much,
and it gets tiring watching your twisted mind devolve into yet another
layer of neuroses.

In other words, when you lay down a like of bull**** as you did with the
nav light question, because you are the mighty w'hine, no one is
supposed to question it?

You're not in charge here, w'hine.
