We set out for the open water with only the very low Main Street bridge standing between us and Wolfeboro bay. I quickly learned that anchor lights sometimes rise above of the otherwise highest point on a boat by the nasty sound of our light scratching and bending as the Main Street bridge flexed its mussels. Lesson learned.
I got pulled over by the marine patrol years ago for not having a stern light. I took it down for navigating the bridge. Lesson learned.

Whenever you have pre teens on board a boat, even if they went to the bathroom before boarding, you will always find one that needs to go!
