mdemott Posted October 14, 2018 Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 I assume those markers are illuminated. He must have been running pretty fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEM Posted October 14, 2018 Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 I was doing a slow pre dawn run south down the ICW a couple of weeks ago. Every 20 seconds or so, I would check things out with an LED flashlight. Fortunately I spotted a real DA running north with NO navigation lights! It doesn’t matter how careful you are, bad outcomes can still occur! You cant be too careful! It’s never what you know. It’s what you don’t know!

SeaVuPlay Posted October 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 Per Capt Goodwine, marker illuminated on one side only. There are several in Tampa Bay hard to see even with illumination, and many others with reflective signs but not lighted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnd Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 Horrible, but seems totally avoidable. 0400 it’s dark and outrunning your vision is unsafe. Lighted, reflectors or not..he didn’t just bump it, he put it into the marker. That’s speed and careless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
