The moon was technically full on December 31st, but it’s still looming large, and was so beautiful as it rose last night around 8pm. We had just finished dinner and I was sitting in the cockpit, under the dark sky and stars and looking forward towards the bow of the boat, which faces this lovely town in the Saintes. I could see the outlined humps of the gently sloping lush hills - and sitting there, I noticed a soft glow right in the middle of the center hump....
The glow kept getting brighter, and within about 5 minutes, that huge, round, bright moon was lifting up and through the mountains in front of my eyes. The glow got brighter and brighter and the moon was Huge. Remember "the man in the moon" from when you were a kid? I saw him - in fact, I saw a couple variations - and it was so bright, I almost really couldn't keep looking directly at it.
Seeing the moon rise was probably just as magical as a sun rise or a sunset - it mesmerized me -I felt awestruck and so fortunate to be able to view it and be sitting there appreciating this wonder.
