Ask it like you’d ask an experienced colleague.

Type a question or attach a photo of what you can see. Answers arrive in seconds — direct, practical, and written for the watchkeeper rather than the lawyer.

Photo attached: light off the starboard bow
I’m seeing a white light flashing in groups of two. What is it?
A white light showing groups of two flashes, written Fl(2), is the characteristic of an isolated danger mark under the IALA buoyage system. It marks a danger that has navigable water all around it. Give it a wide berth and check your chart for the mark’s position and exact light period.
