Marker/Light changes for the season
I noticed over the weekend that the marker outside of Glendale is now a blinking red light at night. What other changes are people seeing in their travels?

Blinking RED ?? With no companion (green) -- That's a new one on me --
What's that suppose to indicate?

It is a red blinking light, but I did not see what color the actual marker was at night. |

I thought there's been a blinking red light there for years. Am I imagining this? Don't know how I could get out of Glendale so easily in the dark without it.

Glendale Entrance
Coming from the broads, the Glendale entrance has always been a red and white marker with a flashing white bouy at night. This is to keep you off the shoals near Rock Island. It is mainly for the larger craft, because the water depth around the bouy is sufficient for small vessels. It also helps the Mount Washington navigate the area as it passes thru on occasion. There are also alot of fixed keel sailboats going into Fay's that need the deeper water.

If #26 is the one on the way out of Smith Cove/Glendale heading to the right was you round the point then that is the one. I do not have a chart here to verify the marker# against. |

Yellow vs white. Back in the old days of pre-2003 or so, all the flashers were a long slow yellow which was nice....very relaxing. The replacements are a rapid short blinky white. Blinkety-blink-blink.....I miss the old slow lights, these newer ones are making me nervous. Just above my side-by-side tv and web-tv screens I can see about five different flashers, all at once.....too many blink-blink-blink...

BTW, while the Bizer chart has FL 26 correctly marked, the c-map chip based on the map has the light noted as FL 53. The real FL 53 is correctly labeled. This correction is noted on the Bizer web site. |
