 Full moons intrigue me almost as much as sunsets and sunrises.  AND I love to shoot them with my camera.  Florida seems to have some of the most photogenic full moons  in my photo library, right next to the ones I've taken in the Bahamas.   Sailing under a full moon is one the most special treats I can think of.  Unobstructed views of that giant orb..... yum.  Better yet, put it in the rigging of a sail boat........ makes for a great shot!

 Most of you know from last year how I feel about birthdays....particularly MY birthdays!   To me they are really just another day, mostly because I'm not all that comfortable with receiving gifts.   I hate  it, actually.

 Laura came for a visit on Mar 14th.  After she arrived, we were invited to go out for a sail on s/v Drift Away.  So at the last minute, we accepted the invite.   I was quite surprised that Laura agreed to this as she is not the happy boater.  But she'd never sailed before and she seemed like she was interested,   so we went!
