I like running the open water from the bridge, in the moonlight best! With all the talk of night running lately, I would caution against using the spot unless you are in a docking situation. I believe the Coasties have regs. against it. The idea of upgrading the navigation light system to something more visible has a lot of merit however. Maybe something from a 47' Commander or vintage CC cruiser. Humm a project for left over teak?
