It is sad but, you also wonder who is running around at nite, Josh was guiding on the Big V and almost got hit while running by a whitel lund running full bore without lights.

Last summer had my brother on V and saw this pontoon with a bunch of adults that enjoyed a few too many adult beverages, they came through the bridge running hot, pulled up to ask for direction to the bar, I told them the needed to run around the Island, no sooner than they got thier directions the were running wide open over a reef that had exposed rocks. the needed a new prop the next morning and maybe a new lower unit.

I will rely on the GPS, but when you get around narrow runs, reefs slow down and pull out the spot light, usually have 2 chargables, and 1 plug-in in the boat at all times. Alway proceed with caution when you are in unfamiliar areas, or areas were multiple hazaard can get you.
