Total Eclipse of the moon
Tonight.
Hoping on a spookey Halloween like sail on Galveston Bay tonight. The Full harvest moon is suppose to turn blood red during a full eclipse. Were hoping to see the ghost ship of Jean Lafitte. Well hoist the Jolly Roger and fire the cannon a few times to roust em out. It's rumored his ghost sails one of his captured slave ships off the shore waters of Kemah looking for a place to unload his cargo. Joe |

I wanted to show my kids because I remember my sense of wonder when I saw my first lunar eclipse when I was 8 or 9. An eclipse is always a memorable experience. You can see why the ancients were terribly impressed by them. ... Alas...totally cloudy night with no chance to see it. Same here. Anybody out there have better luck? Fresh Breezes- Doug King |

After the full eclipse is was very bright with a black quarter shrinking as the earth moved out of the path of the sun. Very bright moon light you needed moon tan lotion. We had a mostly clear sky 82 degrees and winds from the se at 6kts. Slow lazy sail,just jib & jigger with no sign of Lafitte ghost ship ...but lots of bloody marys and zombies were killed.
