I often run at night in both the ICW and near coastal Atlantic. I run on radar and go no more than 7.5kts. It is pretty rare to see an obstacle in daylight that could both cause damage and be invisible on radar, so I consider it an acceptable risk. But a risk it is, indeed. Most semi submerged obstacles show white water that is pretty noticeable unless there is total darkness. Moon very helpful there.
