During salmon season I boat after dark often, its always the same waters so navigating is easy what is an issue is the number of boats with poor or no lightning I’ve almost hit a half dozen sail boats operating without lights I have to assume they got blown farther from the marina than they planned the wind died down and they didn’t have the batteries charged enough to power there lights. Hitting another boat scares me more than anything that being said a longtime ago a good buddy ran his 19 foot boat into the marker bouy at forty mph totaled his boat and broke himself up pretty bad same bouy that’s always been there. I think radar is something I’d like on my new boat.
