At Sebago Canoe Club, we just did a full moon paddle on Jamaica Bay (Brooklyn) Saturday. We had 18 boats, and I was doing sweep. I REALLY appreciated those who (like me) had a continuous white 360 degree light on their back decks. From behind, I couldn't see those who had only head lamps at all, nor could any of the power boaters out there. Also, when I rolled my boat (first time in total darkness!) my headlamp shorted out. As for the gentleman who said that boaters might aim at the white light, I don't know where he paddles! :-) In my experience in fairly urban paddling, people generally would aim AWAY from the white light, since for all they know it's another power boat.
