Er......does this happen to look familiar? At all?

"in a 22-foot Mirage..."

As in "Rehberg was a passenger in a 22-foot Mirage and not at the
wheel when the boat ran up on the rocks..."

By the way, what's your BAC tonight? :)

Good enough that I'll take your word for it.
At least until somebody contradicts you.
Must have moving good to get that high on the rock.

This happens far too often, running too fast at night. You wonder why no
one has ever, at least considered, putting some headlights on boats.

I have. My last design had adjustable headlights built right into the
hull... Didn't build it yet, but the design is solid...

I have a set of remotely operated spots on the bow of the Grady and
one under the T-top of my Ranger that I use on really dark nights when
I need to find something against a dark shoreline.

The problem with operating headlights, I suspect, is night blindness
caused by bright lights. I know from my days on the rigs and running
the Venice Canal that when you get hit with a strong white light on a
dark night, your night vision is shot to hell for a while.

I dunno - maybe it's something that needs to be researched.
