I agree with TIS, Breakwaters advice is spot-on.

Night operation is just a totally different experience and may be harder than driving blindfolded because it so easy to mistake points of reference in the dark.

Once you feel ready to it a try, wait for a full moon and then dont venture too far at first as Winnipesaukee has way too many hazards to risk an accident and ruin your fun.

Plan to be back and tied up well before dark for these first trips and you will always end the day with a smile. You will have plenty of time to explore the "adventure" of night boating after you log a some sucessful day trips.

ENJOY!
