In pauls defense if he was looking at his boat and someone had turned the light or lense around he might not even had know it without this talk. I have seen boats that have their bow light turned around the wrong way. Some times all of us miss the most simplest of things that are common sense and right in front of us. hince the saying if it would had been a snake it would had been bit me. But a new boater might not know which way is correct or not. thats why they have boaters saftey courses, good reminders for us all
