uch easier to identify the flashing light at Chase Point (light 49), swing east to go around Melvin Island (light 11), and then head for light 59. You don't even have to slow down or identify any other markers...
I enjoy boating at night even more than day time and have lived behind Black Island since 2004 (on the lake since the mid 70's including Balmoral long before GPS was available) and have never gone through the graveyard at night...

Fair point—I've always just head through on a straight line coming around from either side, but, looking at the map just now, it appears pretty easy that way.
Question: are the lighted buoys designed to be used in such a way to not need anything else but a chart in complete darkness? Specifically, if you know what color the current and next lighted buoys are, can you go straight between them?
