for a nice slow boat ride at dusk today...first night time ride ever.

Night boating is really the best but you do need some good local
knowledge of the area. Also be sure you can't see your running lights
from the helm. Once your eyes adjust to the dark, you will be
surprised how well you can see things on the water. Just take it easy
so if you do hit something you don't hit it very hard ;-)

The absolute coolest is around 0300 at sea on a big boat/ship.
I always wanted the mid watch at sea.
You never knew there were that many stars.

i only spent 1 night at sea...was OVERCAST!! what a disappointment.

If you want to see stars, head the Alps on a clear winter night and
you'll see blankets of stars. It overwhelms the senses.
