I like to be at anchor with a clear view to the east on full moon nights. Watching the moon rise between the glistening water of Lake Michigan and stars beyond is transcendent.
I love the description - I have paddled in canoe country with the full reflection of the stars on a moonless night and sailed the Apostles when the blue moon cast its shadow. I think the romance of the universe comes on nights like this when we can see that the vast expanse of space is looking at us while we attempt to look at it.
