Post How to work lights
If you see another boat comin at you, turn your @#$%& headlights off. You might be able to see me but I can't see nothin including you. Heck, I can't see for two minutes after you pass if you got good ones.

And while I am giving instructions on how to work lights....

If you have a fishin light on your camp, point the &^%$# thing down at the water not down the canal.

Happy Thanksgiving to anyone that has not blinded me this week.

Try running the ICW with barge rr lights pointing at you. I shine my head lamp right back at them they usually stop or move it to their bow. PITA!

I been blinded on the ICW and when I shine them they get the message.

Shrimper last week got me pretty good. I only had to light him up a couple of times for him to figure it out.

Guy that made me so mad, never figured it out.

this also applies to the boat ramp. if there is two lanes
1) don't take up both lanes, i don't care if you can't back up your boat wortha damn!
2) turn your fkn lights off so other may back up peacefully!
