Heh... "at night" and "over water" are two phrases that I will never put
together when filing a flight plan. ;)

That's a good attitude to have. I found leaning to fly in the Navy to
involve a LOT too much IFR, and that probably ruined me on it forever
:) We even flew helos IFR, and THAT'S pretty hair-raising. It just
always seemed to me like we had a lot of bad VFR map/landmark pilots
after so much IFR time. I know I always had to bone up extra on the
maps and GET MY HEAD OUTSIDE!! :)
Good luck and have fun with it.

Matt
