Indeed, the proper light to use when anchored is the white one...the others are intended to be running lights so that others can determine one's direction of motion...but last night I found the running lights very helpful as we negotiated the field of boats on our way to our favorite viewing spot.

Now the idiotic behavior of the boat that was anchored with no lights at all....well that is a different matter. In a way I am hopeful that there was an electrical problem. That can be fixed. Idiocy, on the other hand, seems to be a permanent situation.

And the jerk who watched the entire fireworks show with his dock lights on is even another story.

Seems to me that there were more boats than ever out there last night. When we left to go back to the Parker Creek area it looked like there was a major superhighway running down the center of Lake Martin! They all seemed to be going about the same speed, which made navigation better, and the rogue waves seemed to be less this year (not to say that there wasn't a surprise or two).

Peace,
