After all the messages recently posted by listers, I found
a stack of free boooklets provided by the US Department of
Homeland Security at our local Maritime Museum. The form
number is 2010-361-210. It provides all the "legal"
answers to the questions posed.
One distinction I didn't recall seeing during the recent
discussions is the size of the boat. For example, is your
boat is less than 20 meters long, it is not required to
display an anchor light in a "special anchorage". And, if
it is less than 12 meters (39.4 feet), you do not need the
conical shape while motoring.
Just some more stuff to keep you reading.

Re: anchor balls. I'm not saying that its not a good
idea but I thought that the requirements for anchor
dayshapes and lights was eliminated while in a charted
anchorage or in a mooring field. Or is it just while on
s mooring? Or am I just mistaken altogether?

I have seen a few anchor balls around here (St.
Michaels, MD) usually on boats visiting on their way up
or down the ICW - there are two anchorages on the river,
so they know what they are doing. Most don't. Some don't
even display lights at night....

West sells a fold up anchor ball for a relatively cheap
$17. But I bet they don’t sell many. I’d not have a clue
as to where you could go to buy a steaming cone. And I
don’t think I’ve ever seen either one of these actually
being used by a small boat. I do occasionally see day
shapes displayed on the larger shrimp trawlers in our
waters, but not often.

Rick,
you do (so triple points for you (each point can be
converted to a drink of your choice when visiting on my
boat)). Though, I should have said that professionals
should not apply (;-).
I don’t have the day shapes either, but I have to say
that a long while ago I used to sail on a boat that
regularly displayed the black ball when anchoring. And we
used to carry both the black ball and the black cone.
However, I don’t remember ever displaying the inverted
cone. And I don’t think I ever saw an inverted cone
displayed.
