I found your post most interesting.... I just can't envision night time manuvering on the boat. I guess with a full moon it might be doable but without..... how do you see (avoid) all the lobsta buoys ? it's not the getting to and from that I am worried about, it's hitting something in between. I should either try something simple (close) the first time or.... go with someone else at night to get a "feel" for what to expect.
Where do I meet you....
