Don't Get Lost After Dark

If your boat doesn't have a GPS on board, consider getting one. Being on the water after dark is disorienting and you can quickly lose your sense of direction, even on waters you are familiar with. The lake at night looks a lot different than it does when the sun goes down. If you can't afford a GPS then take a compass with you. The compass can help you locate the general area of your point of access and hopefully you'll recognize landmarks. Don't forget to bring a flashlight to help you use your compass.
