Last Wednesday I was witnessing northern lights on the NW sky, and at the very same time a few days " old" moon (the full moon was on Monday) rising on the NE sky... I was on a short overnight trip of 30 miles to my favourite island, with my brand new sleeping-bag. The night was black and cold, but not too cold: about -1 degrees centigrades (40F?). After 40 minutes of this light-show the northern lights vanished because of the hard light of the rising moon -sigh- 8-) My SO got enormously jealous... THE WINTER IS NOT HERE - at least not until the sea freezes.. Optimistic, as always, Ari (stil skinny-dipping, if I get sauna directly afterwards!) *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Sun Oct 11 1998 - 00:16:21 PDT
