My tip is rig your anchor light before you start drinking.

I used to have one of those solar cell/ rechargable battery/ LED garden light jobs with my hanging strings simply knotted at the ends and jammed beween the main body and the lid.

Attempting to string it on the bungy, I dropped the wrong thing, the light bounced on the deck just the once and then over the side. I did almost recover it with the boathook, but it burst open and sank in 5 metres, still glowing.

Yes he did, I was there. The shocking thing was the language, he never swore once!

Should I get another storm lantern then I can have a light in the boat and one outside?

We have had an LED anchor light for three years, a bulb that fits the standard Aquasignal socket, very effective and much less than 30 pints, more like eight or nine!
