It says an anchor light is visible all around, but doesn't say that ONLY an anchor light may be visible all around. Actually in my case I have a white deck light about a foot or so behind me and maybe a foot tall, so I block the light from someone in front (which is why I have a headlamp ready but normally off). Even if I used a hand flashlight pointed at a boat, if held still long enough it will mimic an all around light to that boat I've aimed it at (i.e. all they know is they see a white light). At any rate this is a classic case of not to worry until you hear of at least one such court case anywhere. And I can use other means to mostly avoid any possible close calls. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
