Sailing at night: Everything is closer than it appears but looks so far away until you are on it. If you do not have radar - have AIS as its about as good fore not having radar as you can get (AIS units run $250 and above).

Unless your course is the channel and you are comfortable sailing at night, it can be done - beware above.

Port T is interesting and it is a $15 cab ride to Safeway to replenish... But the locals are interesting and the marina - is no hassle just be aware of winds as it is not a protected harbor in practical senses. I had issues last year trying to dock as the northern winds kept blowing me off and the high free board I have.
