First..I would think twice about crossing the lake in front of the Moor's whether it is dark or daylight...you can right now as long as you do not hit a barge or yacht wave...hit one of those or cross there in a couple of months when the water is down more and you will be treading water with the bottom of your boat gone to the concrete foundations out there.

Some things to think about:

Weather: You better watch the wind and weather forecast and then don't believe them when it says it is going to nice and calm. If you think it is fun on Ky Lake in rollers during the day...it is one wild and dangerous ride at night.

Go slow...just because the law says you gotta have a 360 degree anchor light on when you are stopped or anchored does not mean everyone is doing it.....lots of folks out there that either can't read or don't care if they get run over by someone that can't see them.

Hint: A barge coming straight at you, you will not see until he runs over you unless he just happens to sweep his spotlight. First rule of thumb...the rookie pilot gets to stay up late and work the midnight shift.
