{Stus-List} Anchor rode buoy/marker? - crowded anchorage

[Dennis C.]

Jim,

I don't think my anchor rode is long enough for that.  I thought about a Navy surplus mine but a guy in a caftan bought the last one.

I did find this floating strobe light:  http://www.lumastrobe.com/Marine/Y-2.html

and this nice strobe to hang from the rigging:  http://www.lumastrobe.com/Marine/YLX-18-CN.html

Dennis

This is a little brighter, although maybe a little more dangerous to the idiot and to yourself. If still intending offspring, lead underwear may be called for.

Having done it last year, I expect there will be more idiots and more boat drivers under the influence that evening/night.  I would like to mark my rode with some sort of floating light.  I saw some of the lights show below at a discount store for $10 US Saturday.
