Navigating at Night

   Navigating at  Night  can be very tricky in your boat, and a bit scary too. It is much easier to handle a boat when we can see around us, so navigating at night needs to be handled differently. 

You need to see where you are going!

   Navigating at night is easier with the proper equipment on board, but nothing takes the place of common sense to avoid any problems. It can also take time for your eyes to adjust so care should be taken around brighter lights too. Special lights such as searchlights can certainly help as well.
