QUOTE: Originally posted by MisterBeasley How about channel lighting and bouys buoys? I was reading a Dirk Pitt novel this week, and the author (Clive Cussler - highly recommended) casually mentioned the light markings on channel bouys buoys. I realized that I will need bouys buoys when the stuff under my Moose Bay Bridge turns from foam to the briney deep. (Sorry, Bob. I'll use a spell-checker next time I'm in water over my head.)

QUOTE: Originally posted by jsoderq I don't entirely understand your question, but on the bridge near my house there are two lights, one at the end of each span. When the bridge is down, they are next to each other at the center of the spans. When the bridge is fully opened, they turn green and are at the end of the span which is now point up in the air to allow the ship through.
