There is a proper lighting sequence for a vessel that isn't "under command" (but moving). In a busy boating circumstance, I'd use common sense.

Just a reminder that anchoring at night on Lake Winnipesaukee is not permitted; also, that the Captain is the sole party responsible for safe operation of the vessel—and the safe return of his passengers—regardless of the lighting of any object or hazard.
