• and means supported by said housing for turning said light on and off
• having wall structure defining an anchor chamber,
• a reel rotatably mounted in said chamber,
• a line wound around said reel,
• said line interconnecting said reel and anchor,
• and at least four openings in said wall structure adjacent said reel providing access to the line wound thereon for untangling said line,
• said openings being disposed substantially ninety degrees apart from each other.

A device comprising

• a buoyant housing,
• a light source supported by said housing,
• and means supported by said housing for turning said light on and off
• said light source directing light in a direction longitudinally of said housing,
• said housing including a tubular portion of substantial length extending beyond said light source in said direction and receiving said light interiorly thereof,
• substantially all of said tubular portion being formed of light transmitting material whereby substantially all of the exterior of said tubular portion exposed to view is illuminated by said light,
• and wherein said tubular portion is detachably secured to the housing supporting said light source,
• and wherein said tubular portion includes a pair of transparent discs mounted interiorly thereof in spaced relation longitudinally of said portion and hermetically sealed with respect to said tubular portion providing a sealed chamber making said tubular portion buoyant.
