Night boating - All around white lights.

upthesaukee · 07-22-2017, 10:07 AM

While sitting around the fire pit at a friend's place in Alton Bay, once it got dark, there were no less than 3 boats coming down the bay with no white light showing. Two of them were faster than other boats in view and passed right buy them quickly. The other one was at the approximate speed of other boats heading in as well.

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.
