We overtook a widebeam this morning which has an orange light flashing. Moored up and it’s passed us, still flashing away. Not a work boat just a run of the mill widebeam. Does it have some significance?

Beware of self-important dickhead onboard perhaps?

Does it have some significance? This widebeam; did it have some large desk fans on the stern and a bit of rubber around the hull? Hovercraft An air-cushion vessel when operating in the non-displacement mode shall, besides a masthead light forward, (plus a masthead light abaft if longer than 50 m) sidelights and a sternlight, exhibit an all‑round flashing yellow light (faster than 2 flashes per second). www.sailingissues.com/navcourse10.html |

Just to draw attention.
I saw a boat moored up with vehicle hazard triangles on towpath at each end.
Its amazing how they just grab attention and make you think. Hoping for people to slow down I guess. Might also help with cyclists its possible.

it actually means 'I'm new to all this - I cannot go into neutral or stop the engine - please help me - I have been navigating in a 10 mile loop for the past five days'

I'm assuming at this point it had no significance other than to say 'here I am'.
The grown ups have offered nothing (as it wasn't a hovercraft).

It means 'no overtaking' . Doh ! Rog I thought it meant the opposite, you can overtake it on a double white line as long as it's safe to do so, same as a bin lorry. They're coming out to paint the double white lines on the water next week. |

My green light on my solar controller flashes when it is very sunny and the batteries are fully charged, do I need to change the antifreeze, the oil or my trollies.
Will it stop when there is an R in the month?
