Got caught up having too much fun this Columbus Day Weekend, so I couldn't take a pic out in the water, but I have this crappy pic I took at night while under tarps on the trailer. They are certainly a lot brighter than the original bow bulb that came from the factory. They cover a range of about 120°-130° more or less. If there are worries about blind spots you might co sider upgrading your stern lights also.

The weather was gorgeous btw, we found a little sand beach and we were nestled in in between the mangroves. All you see around that area are flats fishing boats due to shallow waters....

This is a gorgeous photo.
The water does look very shallow. Zooming in provides a disturbing floating yellow thing with a head inside. What is that?

That photo stopped me in my tracks, too. Forget the lights - I want me some of that sailing territory.

Lol! That's my wife. That little beach is shallow but it drops to a 10 foot depth at the edge. Great for fishing.

You should add your cruising area or home base to your profile (under your avatar), at least a general geographic area. That way we'll know where to find that water.

Florida'd be my guess Tom.

Yea, it looks like it's 4 inches deep and just a head and arms floating in the yellow thing.

Water looks fantastic. So where exactly is this great little beach? or is it your secret spot to get away?

Problem is I can see both lights. One should have lights dead ahead to two points (22 degrees) abaft the beam.
Ck that out and you may have taken that picture dead ahead.Ck on a small offset of 5 degrees.

Lmao! Local hiding hole in the Fla keys. We had to come in close to the mangroves since there was a flats boat rt in the middle when we arrived. The wind pushed us against the mangroves. I remember a few years ago we used to camp at this little island back when we had an inflatable. A lot more comfort now, that's for sure!

That is correct. Pic taken dead ahead. Past around 20° or so only one light is seen.
