Night Sailing



I've been thinking of how to best describe night sailing with high winds and seas, and no moonlight. Maybe it's like driving on a mountain road at night with sunglasses and no headlights. But sailing at night seems to sharpen my senses and enhances the experience of being on the sea.


I found a video that might help others get the feeling. The poor video quality actually lends to the impact. Enjoy your night sail.

Thanks for sharing!! Love night sailing. Always practice sailing by instruments only on daytime passages. I wear a blind. Much like IFR flight training. It’s not perfect but it teaches us to depend on our instruments and learn to trust them. Heavy fog (zero vis) or night (a little more eerie). It’s enlightening and I find it calming.
