	Night navigation.
	We have already discussed the kinds and purposes of different lights in the corresponding section and now I will talk about night navigation in general.
	Most likely, the first time you will be a bit uncomfortable and scared, but it stops after a couple of nights and you gradually get used to it.
	It is better to start sailing during both day and night right away so as not to develop a psychological block.
	Real travel cannot be done without night crossings, because sometimes there is simply nowhere to spend the night and you need to reach some point.
	Instead of the outlines of ships and buoys, you look at lights, and that makes all the difference.
	After a couple of nights, it may even seem easier for you to sail at night, as the contrast helps you see the lights better.
	Also, if you have an AIS, then nothing really changes for you.
	You still see all the ships on the screen.
	For night navigation you definitely need to have bright running lights, at least the equivalent of 20 watts.
	There must be a radar reflector.
	Be sure to buckle up and be sure to have a bright flashlight.
	Of course, it would be great to have AIS, especially active AIS, then other ships see you on their AIS screen.
	Otherwise, they only see you on the radar.
	In general, there is nothing difficult about night navigation, you just need to carefully try and get used to it.
	Never sleep on the watch, set yourself an alarm every 10 minutes.
