I see where you're coming from, and I can see the logic used to arrive
at the conclusion. However, once the boat is anchored or tied up at a
dock, (i.e. Simpson's Bay, St Martin), it becomes an obstruction with a
fixed position. We're not gonna concern ourselves with the minor
movement of the boat based on water and wind action, it's there as an
obstruction that's not changing its location. I guess one could equate
this change in status to not having brewskis while underway, but once at
anchor, it's OK (assuming other provisions met). That's because, in
Canada at least, a moving pleasure boat falls under the Highway and
Traffic Act and this ceases when tied up or anchored, thus changing the
rules governing, among other things, alcohol consumption and
intoxication.
Cheers,
Mike

Section 6.3.2 simply defines which lights should be used for items
defined as requiring them in 6.1. All of the items requiring lights in
6.1 are FIXED obstacles.
