In addition we noticed several whose all around light was not visible from the front (our vantage point) until we were looking more from the side.
I carry two lights in case one goes swimming or I can't find the spare bulb.
If I am any where near sundown, I have the all around light in, and my nav lights on. May not be dark, but I think it helps improve my visibility to others.

Wonder what's worse, no all-around stern light, or red/green nav lights reversed. The weekends all mash together, but I believe it was last weekend when we couldn't help but be confused seeing a green nav light on the port side of a boat coming off plane by the no wake just out from the Moultonborough town beach (in front of Quayside/Trexlers...yes, there's a no wake there!). Fortunately, we were able to give them a heads up as they scooted by...
