By common sense, and by law, a boater is required to be in control of his vessel at all times. You are required to keep a look out at all times. If you can't see where you are going, YOU DON'T GO!

Obviously it is not possible to see everything that may be in the water, especially at night. But boating your way is Russian Roulette. Someday you are going to lose.
OK, what am I to understand from these 2 sentences;

"Obviously it is not possible to see everything that may be in the water, especially at night. "

and

"If you can't see where you are going, YOU DON'T GO!"

To me it sure sounds like nighttime boating, except for perhaps when the full moon is overhead, is verbotten in your book. Do I understand you correctly ?
