🔍 Key Concepts

• Anchor watch responsibilities for safety and security • Use of lights and illumination while at anchor • Practical measures to deter theft without creating new hazards

💭 Think About

• Which lighting option best allows you (and others) to see suspicious activity on or near the vessel? • Is any option likely to create a navigation hazard or violate standard lighting practices at anchor? • Which choice sounds like a practical, commonly used security measure rather than an extreme or unsafe action?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which lights are required by the Navigation Rules for a vessel at anchor (anchor lights vs. running lights). • Check whether using running lights while anchored is appropriate or could be confusing to other vessels. • Consider if maintaining water on deck with charged hoses is realistic or safe as a continuous anti-theft measure.
