How did you get on?

Here are my thoughts

1 Fl.G.2.5s Flashing green light every 2.5 seconds   Starboard lateral mark 
2 Q.6m4M Quick flashing white light 4m tall and can be seen for 4 miles in optimum conditions  North Cardinal mark
3 Fl.(2) R 5s Flashing red light twice every 5 seconds  Port lateral mark
4 Fl.(3)10s Flashing white light three times every 10 seconds  Easterly Cardinal mark
5 Fl.5s 13m12M Flashing white light every 5 seconds 13m tall can be seen for 12 miles in optimum conditions  Lighthouse
6 Q(6)+LFl.15s Flashing quick white light six times plus 1 long flash every 15 seconds  Southerly Cardinal mark 
7 Fl(2+1)R.10s Flashing red light twice plus 1 long flash every 10 seconds  Preferred channel to Starboard lateral mark
8 Fl(2)10s Flashing white light twice every 10 seconds  Isolated Danger mark 
9 F.Bu.5M Fixed blue light can be seen for 5 miles in optimum conditions

 Often used as transits and also to mark the  centreline of bridges 

10 VQ(9)10s6m7M Flashing very quick white light every 10 seconds is 6m high and can be seen for 7 miles in optimum conditions  Westerly Cardinal mark 

 

Isophase Equal dark and light
Occulting More light than dark
Fixed Constant steady light
Alternating Alternating colours  e.g. (Al.WG) would be alternating white and green lights

If you managed to get all that down, well done. Reward yourself with tea and cake
