More than that, he really thought out what was needed to advise and help me with my handling of my particular boat. Skills and advice that I could not have learnt without own boat tuition.

Seeing a full moon rising, from the sea, on the horizon is indeed very beautiful… a redish rising from the darkness. And with the clear sky that we had, we could also see the stars and constellations pretty well. Something to enjoy and contemplate.
