Default NightSail

I had a wonderful nightsail last summer until..
I felt the boat slowing down.. and then coming to
a full stop on the Aylmer Island Shoal.. in the
Ottawa River.
To that moment everything was just perfect.. a warm
summer breeze.. tilting the hull about 15 degrees..
light waves slapping the hull.. the green light
on the island lighthouse on the port bow.. just enough
for me to pass safely.. according to my reckoning.. BUT..
the darkness played havoc with my night vision..
and there I was .. stuck fast in the mud and rock of
the shoal.
