          On my RNLI seacheck all that was required was an all round white light visible for at least 2 miles. The standard all round white for a small craft is a 10 watt 12 volt bulb. I think this applies to boats under 18 foot. Never caught much after dark anyway from my boat of the same length.

          I didn't go to work today. The voices told me to go fishing!
