I have been there and almost got run over.. How you can miss it? I don't
know it's huge but the one that crept up on my was like a big silent
planed slipping in in the night... No lights on the front of the barges,
it was crazy.

I thought the front barge was required to have running lights and a
flasher.
At any rate the sun was up when this happened

No, it was dark out when it happened.. If it had a flasher, it was not
visible or at least apparent from my point of view.. All I saw was a
bright star off in the distance and it started closing fast. Turned out
it was the tug light, I barely got out of the way with my little 2 horse
motor on the little aluminum skiff.
