You are correct. However, don't mix up human behavior with boating laws. You cannot justify operating a boat of any kind, at night, without proper lighting. It is insane, as is swimming at night in navigable waters.

Swimming at night in navigable waters is done all the time. A very normal thing to do.
Perhaps you mean swimming at night a long way from shore. Even then there are good sane reasons. And it is completely legal

Maybe I misunderstood the question, I thought Nightwing's post was about an unlighted boat being on the water at night and legal not an idot swimming, you know, something actually germain to the topic.
If, God forbid, I was out at night (at 1:30 in the morning) and struck a swimmer that was more than 150 feet from shore I seriously doubt there is a jury in the world, or even NH, that would find me at fault.
BTW, I did respond to the question regarding post 234 in post 265 (I think it is 265 but the numbers aren't listed in the "write mode"), it was delayed in posting due to moderator. Not a critical comment, just fact.
