Sorry and with great respect but you are wrong, I am an ocean sailor and have sailed in many parts of the Pacific where much of the SH4 action takes place.
First thing is, when it is dark and there is no moon it is pitch black and I mean black. But the stars are very, very bright, much brighter than anything people from large cities or the Northern Hemisphere can imagine. You can almost read a book just from the milky way over head
Now for waves and wakes. It is absolutely true, you can often only tell where a ship or boat, or for that matter a reef is by the phospheresance, (stirred up algae) in the wake or the bow wave or even rippling down the side of the boat.
I have seen this

if anything the wake should have a greenish hue ... maybe this has been mentioned before (by anyone thats been on a boat through the night with the lights out), its actually quite increadible to watch all the algea light up with each splash of the boat and swirl behind you in your wake... i know it varies in amount and brightness depending on where you are, though the last place i saw it was in the cold waters off the coast of northwest france and not some triopical place.
