night cruises with swimming.....

We don't always swim around our boat at night but we regularly take night cruises in the Sandy Creek area. I often see boats moving along at fairly high speeds and wonder whether I would be remotely comfortable doing that (I always putt along at 1,000rpm). Not sure what this area is like but if there are homes around, add the alcohol and it would be very easy to have never seen them before it was too late, even if this guy ever saw them. At night you really have to concentrate to distinguish boat lights from home/dock lights. I carry a 10,000 candle-watt light that on one occasion I had to shine toward a faster moving boat that I thought was headed in our direction. I think I made him mad because he intentionally came close to our boat. Thank God no one was swimming at the time.
