Aug 18th – A sunset/moonrise sail with J16’s at Hein Bank. J26 made friends with a murre and then an explosion of the ocean as he caught a fish. Steller sea lions snoring as the sun set and the moon arose. Twilight turned to dusk and to nightfall as we sailed home under the light of the moon. Sunset/full moonrise trips are our favorite.
