Yep, however, some don't even though they know better. We barely
missed one of SF one night. The only reason we saw it was the silhouette
against the city front.

Sailing at night is not a problem if the boats are showing nav lights.

I thought a night vision scope would be handy, but someone told me only
the
very expensive ones can see half a mile or more. Most can see only about
100
yards which is a short time when two boats are coming at each other on a
collision course.

Anyone have any experience with night vision scopes on the water?

Thanks, Dennis
