Yeah...we had to deal with a tour catamaran and I missed the green flash. It was a pretty good one, but not spectacular.The image was before the green flash.
Some days you just have to take life and sailing easy.

It is cold and raining, but I am at the marina. Life is good.
One of the dozens of Javanese and Karimunjawa Island fishing boats that have parked just off-shore of our cabanas on the East shoreline of Karimunjawa, Indonesia.

Are those light lanterns on the frames?
Those would surely draw the fish to the surface at night for easier netting.

Yes, the sea looks like another coastline just across a bay at night. Karimunjawa is right on the edge of the Coral Triangle [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coral_Triangle]

I believe those are squid fishing boats. The lights attract them to the surface. I've seen stories about how many of those boats there are in certain waters to satisfy the demand, mostly in Asia
You are right, Ed. In Thailand, they all use green lights. Here it is white. When I first saw them off-shore, I thought, "what are the chances that every boat out there has her starboard side to the shore?"

It's Tuesday so sue me. LOL
Out on Richland-Chambers Reservoir with our 16 foot AMF Sunbird.
The Admiral is checking the fishing map for a place to drop anchor for the night. Yes, I said FISHING MAP. IIRC, on the top hatch board is a Garmin gps72 with no map features at all.
