Marine Patrol and navigation lights

Airwaves · 08-08-2007, 09:37 PM

I figured I'd bring this up since I witnessed an incident involving an MP boat a couple of hundred yards from my beach when I was up at the lake recently. The MP apparently responded to a boat that was disabled. I saw him coming with his blue light, I could see his all around white light, but I didn't see any red or green lights.

I thought I must have missed them when he was coming into the bay but the more I looked at the action the more apparent it became that he did not appear to be running with his navigation lights, just the white all around and the blue.

I figured that was odd, so I checked out some of the photos on the forum and ran across this pic and I see the blue, but I don't see any navigation lights. (it's really the only pic I found close enough or clear enough to be able to say one way or another)

Anyone else notice this or was he just at a very bad angle and I couldn't see them from a couple hundred yards?
