Focus at night is giving me fits!

No, not that one. I'll have to find or take a picture of it to show it.

Hyperfocal distance should apply here.

Rather than focusing at infinity, it would be better to focus somewhere in the middle.
You'll still have the horizon in focus because the lens has a lot of depth of field.
Here are some numbers:
At f2.8 and focused at 50 feet - everything from 12ft - infinity is in focus
At f5.6 and focused at 50 feet - everything from 6ft - infinity is in focus
At f11 and focused at 50 feet - everything from 3ft - infinity is in focus
