Lights
Lights are critically important to getting around after dark. And in the boating navigation world, it’s hard to imagine lights that provide more value than those housed in lighthouses. Theses lights, placed atop high towers, serve as informational beacons to mariners, helping them to avoid fixed objects from islands to shoal waters. The lights have different characteristics from the strength of the lens to the pulse timing patterns. Lighthouses have been around since the beginning of our country, guaranteeing safe passage of trading partners. Today, local lighthouses continue to assure safe passage of boats both commercial and pleasure. Be sure to check your navigation tools for these important aids to navigation, as they can be real lifesavers in times of need.-
