MichaelB1969,

Great post and great pix! Night running is fun and can be very peaceful and generally not a lot of boats out. However, you're right, one needs to pay attention.

I do a lot of night boating, mostly local stuff to a restaurant, hangout, friends place, etc. Rarely an issue. I pay a bit more attention if it's a weekend night as half of the boaters out then are drunker than I am <g>....

Did one last night, moon shining so that it was easy to see. Dead calm. Motored home at a slow 5 kts. and didn't want the ambiance to end. Even docked from the flybridge. And easy to see crab traps.

Occasionally I'll run in area where I haven't been but requires a bit more planning and a "for sure" place to dock up at the end without hassle. And radar is nice or avoiding stuff.
