Hi Tony,

Not to mention, they are very widely spaced apart, it's pretty easy to 'weave' a course thru that area that will give them a comfortably wide berth, if need be...

They've always been lit when I went by, but it's probably been 2 years since I actually passed thru that area... As you mention, I'm usually either well outside them, or well inshore... They were lit with quick flashing lights, almost sort of a strobe, tough to miss, and visible from a LONG way off... But again, that sounds like dated information, now...

Personally, I think all the smaller unlit buoys inshore that delineate fish havens and the like are a far greater hazard along that coast after dark... I don't trust their charted position to necessarily be as accurate as the towers, and it would be quite easy to hit one of those... One of those towers, not so much...

Not if you were awake, that is... (grin)

best regards,

Jon
