In Response To: Re: All round white light (Roy Morford)

About reading and complying with Rule 25 of the COLREGS?!!! I'm starting to believe that 99% of kayakers are just idiot mariners. Read the f-ing rules and obey them. It's that simple people. Turn off the computer and get a copy of the Rules, and obey them. Stay the heck out of traffic areas at night! Stay out of the shipping lanes at night or in fog. An all round white light is NOT ok when you are moving. It means you are at anchor. Drifting is moving! Sorry, but I get soo tired of ignorance, especially when the information is so readily available. Guides should know this stuff! I'm a kayaker BTW.., but for the most part wouldn't admit that among a group of sea folk.
