What should you do when anchoring a boat at night?

When anchoring a boat at night, first ensure you are in a safe and well-lit area to avoid hazards. Use a reliable anchor suitable for the seabed type, and let out enough scope—generally 5-7 times the depth of the water. Once anchored, check that the boat is secure and monitor for any drift. Finally, keep navigational lights on and maintain a lookout for other vessels.
