I started sailing at 14 and later racing sailboats as a Captain of the boat at 16 and then by chance spent three years on a MAROPS team before retirement. Of all the times I nearly died on the water it was at night navigating by lights, sound, and instruments.

Complacency, distraction, overconfidence or just ignorance will get you into trouble fast.
