Night sailing is so different with a full moon versus a new moon. The full moon lets you see shores and crashing waves.

The new moon brings the stars into play. I hate looking at the GPS, and the new moon allows me to guide by stars — though I do have to check the compass and select a new star fairly often.

Night sailing can also be frightening when tides are pulling you out of a pass and unseen waves are crashing.

Here’s to night sailing!

Beautiful writing. Definitely more poetry than prose
