Radar Overnight
Having someone on watch is very smart, even with the best radar, your anchor light should be higher, your question sounds like your boat has a bimini and the anchor light is mounted on the bridge, radar is a very good safety tool. If radar is pushing the budget, consider a radar deflector, they are cheap and greatly enhance your radar signature. When I overnighted on a boat without a generator, I took a spare 12V battery and direct wired it to our spreader lights, it wasn't by the book, but i knew it made our 25' boat much more visible
