Re: over niteing on finger lakes
Welcome to the world of boating at night, I do alot of night fishing on the St Lawrence river and Lake ontario and when Im done it is so peaceful to just sleep in the cuddy. Let me recommend that you take a little extra precaution about the lighting. I understand its only required to have the anchor light on, but if you have the ability to light up the sides of the boat, you would be much safer. I like to use a couple of the solar walkway lights placed close to the surface of the boat. I see alot of boats flying at night on the water and I myself will cruise on a slow plain and it can be surprising how the anchor lights sometimes look like they are on land and then seem to suddenly get close. Maybe it's just my boat but when navigating the lights on my boat reduce visabilty. The stern light alone lights up everything from the windshield back, the instruments light up the windshield further and the bow lights illumnates the front railings.
