With the year 2000 just around the corner, I thought it would be interesting for the members of the Forums to pick the Top Ten Favorite Harbour Lights of the 1990's. To keep this simple and from becoming too confusing, I would ask that each member only pick (TEN)--(DIFFERENT) lighthouses, in no particular order. Please, only one posting for each member. The lighthouse receiving the most votes will be the #1 Favorite, second most votes will be the #2 Favorite,etc. To give everyone,including new members to the Forums ample time to cast their votes, voting will end on December 1st at 12:00 Midnight eastern time, 9:00 PM Pacific and the winning lighthouses will be posted on December 4th.
Please indicate if your pick is an LE or GLOW, where both were produced. You may edit your choices up to the 1st of December
To start things off I will list my ten lighthouses:

Hudson-Athens
Old Field Point
Colchester Reef
Pemaquid Point
New London Ledge LE
Scituate
Thirty Mile Point
Execution Rock
East Quoddy
Saugerties

Here is my list of favorites, not in order of preference.

l. Bald Head, NC
2. Castle Hill, RI
3. St. George's Reef, CA
4. Pemquid, ME
5. Matinicus Rock, ME
6. Portland Breakwater, ME
7. Thomas Point, MD
8. Scituate, MA
9. Cape Neddick, ME GLOW
l0.East Quoddy Canada

Are we going to have a pin for "HL Favorite of the Year" -- another good way to get some donations to help where it is needed. A serious thought here. This pin could be open for any and all lighthouse enthusiasts to buy.

Here goes in no particular order except for number one.

1. Thomas Point LE
2. East Quoddy LE
3. Rose Island LE (Reunion Version)
4. New Point Loma LE
5. Big Bay LE
6. Pemaquid LE
7. Assateague LE or OE (any of the three versions)
8. Saint Augustine LE
9. Hudson Athens LE
10. Portland Head OE with postcard

Actually, that is pretty much the order I would put them in today. It could change a little from time to time, but it would be the same ten at least until the 2000 Harbour Lights lighthouses are produced.
