When you live on a boat sunrises and sunsets are main events. They’re not always this awesome but definitely always enjoyable. No plans just life. The other advantage to long days of sailing and starting in the dark is BIOLUMINESCENCE where the stars are out and the wake of the boat looks like waves churning dragonflies! It’s like you’re passage is through the stars! This last week was extra special in sky event watching because it included moon sets before dawn and moonrise’s with the full moon which are generally uncapturable in their glory with a phone.


Dark and then predawn. And the seas were unusually calm around Dominica.
