You are so right midnight sailing is the best for me to no race around
power boats throwing beer cans.
The wind seams to be less gusty.
And the boat will talk to you with sounds never heard before.

I whole heartily agree. In fact, I think that I would rather sail at
night than at any other time of day. It is soooooooo peaceful;
absolutely beautiful! The sun isn't beating down on you, the speed
boats are all tucked in, and there is a perfectly consistent breeze.
Of course you must have an intimate knowledge of the waters that you
are sailing. My friend and I sail his 27' fiberglass sloop at night
on coastal MA waters whenever we get the chance. Fair weather only,
mind you.

A steaming light is the white light - all-around in our
size range - required if you are under power. A
sailboat has to follow all of the power boat rules when
the motor is on.
Having the correct lights is a good thing - with a
little practice you can quickly determine how another
vessel is oriented. Navrules is a pretty cool little
program to learn and practice this - they even have an
online version athttp://www.navrules.com/.
The USCG web site is down right now but they have the
rules athttp://www.uscg.mil/vtm/pages/rules.htm
Another site with the rules (but not too clear)is
http://www.uscgboating.org/reg/reg_fr_equipReq_navRulesN
Lights.asp

to know where those tugs and barges were going)

You will need bow and stern lights for night sailing. These can be at bow
and stern, or you can use a tricolour at the masthead instead. When
motoring, you must show a steaming light, which is a white light forward,
covering the same arc as the red and green (in addition to, not instead of,
the others.) An all round masthead light can double as steaming and anchor
light. I believe this conforms to the international Collision Regulations
for a boat of Chebacco's size, but I take no responsibility if you are
sued/arrested/run down or otherwise inconvenienced!
I use battery operated temporary bow and stern lights. The first ones I
bought keep me legal, but are not really satisfactory as running lights, so
I'm going to try another type -- still portable/temporary -- that look more
robust and brighter. For an anchor light, I use the same stern light, slung
partway up the topping lift -- this works well.
I considered wiring up the inside of the mast, or adding permanent bow and
stern lights on deck, and using a 12 volt battery, but shied away from the
cost, bulk and inconvenience of recharging and maintaining the whole
shebang, when it's not needed very often.
Do get lights, though -- night sailing is great!
