I often go full stealth with no lights at all and radar on to identify
approaching vessels..... you'd best have night vision if you want to see me
! Then again Brian... you're probably another impoverished dock side sailor
with little experience and a need to voice your opinion.
Allow me to inform you about the value of your opinion.... it has no merit!
I'm all for night vision scopes if you can afford it... not that they are
required but it's excellent to be able to verify buoys and obstacles.
Your vessel should be fully equipped and able to operate on basic
instruments as well as any new gadget you feel like using.
