Sunset sail, June 7th

We were invited to take a sunset sail after dinner with our friend Dave. How could we refuse? The weather was perfect, warm and pleasant. There was a wonderful breeze, maybe just a little too gusty for a small power boat, but perfect for sailing.
The Great South Bay was basically empty of pleasure boats, as you can see from the photos. There aren't many boat out there on a weeknight.
We sailed to the National Seashore on Fire Island, also empty. We walked on the beach for awhile and saw deer and then the most unusual sunset. The sun was very large and didn't look round. It looked oval or oblong. Very strange!
We then sailed home. Perfect night!
Don't forget to click on the pictures to see them larger.
