Now and then, we're looking for one, but rounding the point onto the chaos of 'urboluminesence' and... well... it makes ya wanna come about.<br /><br />A big problem up here are sodium lights on fishing boats. They're not legal to run with, but little enforcement. Ruins night vision at 5nm, blinding at 1nm. In the long straights, a single one is an annoyance for hours at a time.<br /><br />DaveDave Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13241033623115158564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3580987459140037495.post-18321275391098647032012-03-03T06:42:42.531-09:002012-03-03T06:42:42.531-09:00Nice night sail.

The wind kicked up just as we entered the narrow channel of the ICW. The problem is that there are too many lights. Channel markers, private markers, shore lights that look like channel markers . . . Becons. Toss in a few hundred crap pot floats and it gets interesting. No real serious danger, but lots of stuff to sort out. Surreal at times.Sixbearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15572224383041421400noreply@blogger.com
