It's hard to imagine Maurice Griffiths waxing lyrical about AIS beacons the way he did about the Buxey and Nass beacons!

Thanks anyway!

Thanks. I managed to type out the first thread and then delete it before posting it so the second go was a little rushed!

I waxed lyrical about the Nass beacon once! Can out of Mersea on a pitch dark moonless night with the plan to use the Nass as the start point only to find that the light had been taken away for service! And two unmarked committee buoys with warps trailing in the water lurking nearby
