Sometimes, you have to break the rules
There is no doubt that you have to be safe, but there is also something very special about being out on a warm, clear, new moon night, in a kayak or canoe, without the lights on to wreck your night vision. If you stay in among the rocks, closer to 150 from shore, and are very careful - it can be done safely without a light. The old rules allowed this. You could carry a flashlight to be used in case there was danger approaching - but did not have to shine it all the time. Sometimes you have to break the rules.
