Where along the coast do you get a signal that says "I love you"?

Thats cool. I cheated so I'm not claiming the prize nor spoiling but I do like it.

New England.

Mass. Bay.....

anyone?

"signals" means by light, not sound..

Minots Ledge Lighthouse. I have kayaked to it. It is off the coast of Cohasset in Boston harbor. I have not sailed by it though. They were going to update the lights but people squawked and put a stop to it. It was in the news a few years ago...

What is club-hauling? When might it have been used?

(Bonus points if you can name a [relatively] recent movie in which it was employed)
