During the day I have no problem being anywhere on the boat, but at night I like to be behind the helm in order to see all the instruments.

When cruising with just the two of us, having all the instruments at the helm is really nice. Everything it within reach right in front of me. At night situations seem to happen much faster. I like to be at the helm, or, at least 'asleep at the helm'. I've done that on a number of occasions. Of course I always have my trustee Salton timer set to 20 minutes.
