i was inspired to do a new series on things that have been said to me over the years...
i know a cracker isn't really much of a fattening food, but it was late at night and since my surgery i really can't eat all that much.
and the title...it's a direct quote from a kid back in school...
tootles!
The lighthouse was built in 1821. The square masonry tower is 98 feet tall and painted with red and white bands. There are 3 one story keeper's cottages available for rental, although it requires a boat to get to the island, which is a nature preserve. The light signal is 5 red flashes every 15 seconds. The original Fresnel lens was removed in 2014 and replaced with an LED.
The one available boat to service our tour group could only carry 7-8 passengers at one time, which resulted in 3 trips. The photo taken in the dense fog was from the first boat trip. The fog finally lifted by the time of the third boat trip.
The lighthouse marks the north entrance to Cardigan Bay
The lantern room and the observation window.
Built in 1835 by the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board,, although the station was established in 1779. The structure looks more like a castle than a lighthouse. The lantern room is at ground level with an observation window just above, all in the front of the castellated main building. The whole structure is surrounded by a high stone wall. The light signal is a white light, 8 seconds on and 2 off.
The lighthouse was transferred to Trinity House in 1973 and sold and made into a B and B in 2000.
Located on Point Lynas about one mile from the village of Llaneilian..
Built in 1937 and decommissioned in 1977. The steel ship is 104 feet long with a hexagonal steel light tower amidships.

After decommissioning it was donated to the city of Swansea ior visiting.n 1977. Now moored to the Victoria Quay in Swansea and open for visiting.

Built in 1794 by the Swansea Harbor Board. The two stage brick tower is 56 feet tall and the two stages allowed for coal fires to be displayed at two levels. Trinity House took over the lighthouse in 1875. The modern light is provided by two 300 mm lenses and the light signal is 4 white flashes separated by 2.2 seconds every 20 seconds.
Located 7.5 miles south of Swansea on a small island just off Mumbles Head, and marking the entrance to Swansea Bay.

Almost there, the stand prototype is complete, did find out an opps in the design, the live battery connections can short during WLS case insertion due to the case being metal. Will have to come up with an alternate method but I want a female connections where possible on the WLS case as it has a rough life in the field. (antenna is also a concern the way it is now). I guess I have setup for some design improvements.
