A somewhat antiquated rule, if so, don't you think..? Referring to Marks second pic above, if someone can't see a large green & yellow vessel anchored there, what difference is a much smaller black ball dangling somewhere going to make..? Just sayin'...

PS. To jsc7. You might want to rethink being quite so dogmatic re what the OP should do, if I tell you (as he felt constrained to not mention it himself), that Pau Hana above is, or was, in the Insurance business, so would know more about the subject that most.
