If there is a good possibility of floating debris, don't run at night unless you absolutely have to. Nights come in brightly moonlit and glassy calm to invisibly black and a high sea running. Up here in the PNW with a tremendous amount of large drift, much of it hard enough to see at noon, I wouldn't run at night unless forced. Out on an ocean passage on the sailboat, no moon, large sea and a little weather, you just run and keep your fingers crossed. No way you are going to see anything before you hit it.
