    new beacon at manly leads

    took some video of a new beacon being installed. this one is just a clip and the white pole they already established is in another clip. will upload more tomorrow.

    they also are going to finally straighten out that bent beacon shown in the pic.

    I would of thought clearing away the obstruction of the rear lead would be a good idea.Can be a pain at night trying to find it in amongst all the other lights.Wonder why they need another at the entrance?Jim

    If the beacon you are talking about is the last one on the way out I more often than not go inside this beacon as do a lot of boats heading out or in.

    There is no depth change on the sounder at low or high tide so it probably isnt needed.

    no it was the first one on the way out. so maybe they will install another one.
