In Spanish, Puerto Vallarta is often shortened to Vallarta, while English speakers call the city P.V. for short. In internet shorthand the city is often referred to as PVR, after the International Air Transport Association airport code for its Gustavo Diaz Ordaz International Airport.

Good nav lights are literally a life saver, I have really good led ones that are visible form 3 nautical miles on mine since I night fish almost exclusivly. Have almost hit several people who didn't have lights on at night.
Dock or docking lights are used when approaching or leaving the dock or marina. The lights are designed to offer maximum light so as to allow a boater or mariner dock the boat in the stipulated space. They are fixed on the front part of the boat and usually come as white lights. Besides being fixed to the boat, the lights are also placed along the harbor or dock.
