I am wondering about the all-around light as well.

A boat is underway needs it. A boat at anchor needs it. A boat adrift?
Common sense tells me yes, of course. Does the law state that?

Also, does a safe boater certificate held by someone in the boat supervising a non certificate holder meet the requirements of the law?
