FAA WATERCOLOR MARK DOES NOT APPEAR ON FINAL SALES
Last year it was a very warm day and I had been out on my 28 foot Bayliner boat. I had come back to the marina with my friends and we had something to eat on the Nautical Mile located on the south shore of Long Island in Freeport. After enjoying some music and relaxing some of my friends decided to go back home. I thought it was to nice to go back to my apartment and plus the sky that night was bright as could be with a large full moon lighting up the sky and the waterways. Since I also spend a lot of time sleeping on my boat because it has all of the essentials I need, I went back over to it with two of my friends and decided to take it out for a short cruise into the Atlantic Ocean on the south shore of Long Island. Just as we were heading down the Hudson Canal I saw this perfect site of the moon right over us and grabbed my camera and put the boat into neutral while I quickly took several shots of the moon rising into this crystal blue sky that night. The moon was sitting in a perfectly clear blue sky with no clouds or stars and it was giving off a nice reflection onto the water in the canal heading out into the ocean. After I had taken my photos I began to head out to the Atlantic Ocean and it just felt like it was the late part of a summer afternoon with that stunning full moon over are heads. I used the moon's light to guide us in and out of some narrow waterways and after about 3 hours out in the ocean I turned the boat back into the marina. It was a great day with friends both in the day and carrying over into the night. That night I wound up sleeping on the boat because after we tied the boat up at the dock and spent some time talking it was about 11:30 pm and since I had a bathroom with a shower and a kitchen area I decided to sleep on the boat that night.
