APS,

What is the proper sequence? I When I float at night, I typically light the bow (R/G) light and the stern (white) light. Like others have noted you are not technically anchored. I really am not sure though.

Regarding anchoring is the rule you cannot anchor at night or is it that you cannot anchor overnight?
