We got really lucky with a couple of the ones with built-in stakes and could stick them in the top of the winches, hey, cheap security for $5. Makes your boat easier to pick out in the anchorage coming back late at night, anyway.
The problem now is that everyone seems to have one stuck in each primary winch making them all look the same again

I think this might be getting used somewhere....
Maybe the coasties are worried about someone undermining their relevance, and thus their job security. They certainly don't do that around here.
Pirates Cove definitely needs some reflectors. The marks there are privately painted on.
