Sailing with 'Sophisticated Lady'

Hi Everyone!
 

Ok, ok... I know, I know... you can always tell when it's been too long since the last update when I start getting emails saying, "hey, where did you go??  It's winter up here you know... we need a fix!!"  Lol

 

Didn't have time to put together a full update yet, but as most of you know, there was a full moon last week that also became a full lunar eclipse... it made for a great spectacle and needless to say... one of the best full moon parties ever!

 

Not much of a log entry this time, but I'll fill in some blanks soon... for now, enjoy the pictures!

 Full moon twilight... you can even see the craters!

 

That was a very cool night indeed... I still can't believe I captured the pictures of the eclipse so clearly, especially considering I was taking pictures in the dark, and didn't have a tripod to use!  Anyway, a great night was had by all, and if you've never been to a full moon party, it's definitely one of those things to put on your 'have-to-do-list'!
