Full Moon At Sea......

[sail7seas]

Tonight is the Perigee supermoon.... full moon.

It is gorgeous from my window in Boston and I'm hoping those at sea remember to take a look at the bright orange, great big moon. No place should have a better view than a ship at sea on a clear night. :)

 

Wherever you are, remember to take a look at it tonght. :)

We'll definitely be watching it here in Arkansas. Unfortunately, the super moon comes two weeks from our sailing on the Maasdam. We are really getting excited for this cruise. First time aboard the Maasdam, all new ports for us, and a return to Boston after spending several weeks there in 1976 before I was discharged from the U.S. Navy.

There's only one thing better than howling at a full moon. And that's howling at a full moon from an aft deck of a cruise ship. :D

I keep going to my yard to look at it tonight. It is so gorgeous...... looks so big. :)

Thanks Sails, I'll be looking, sorry I'm not on a ship.:(

All I can see are CLOUDS :( :(. I guess I'll just have to wait for another time.

You inspired me to check the full moon schedule for my upcoming Noordam cruise this coming Nov. I am very happy there will be a full moon on Nov 17th, which is the second night of the cruise:)

Meds have kicked in and I cannot last much longer before the bed calls my name. Can someone take photos for me, and others in the same position of not being able to stay awake long enough to see it first hand??

 

Please??

This is not a 'usual' full moon tonight.

 

It is what is called a 'supermoon' and is 14% larger than a normal full moon. The moon is something like 17,000 miles closer to earth than usual.

 

Joanie..... I'd be delighted to take a photo for you but I don't have a clue how to post photos.

 

I'm happy I saw the moon earlier as it was very orange. As it rose higher in the sky, the orange faded to white but is still vividly bright.

Sail, just last night I said to Tom wish we were on a cruise it would be neat to see this full moon out at Sea. Living in Vegas we often see very few stars because of al the lights of Vegas. We live several miles from the strip but it still is not the same as being away from any lights. Viewing the Moon is a little bit the same way but I suspect when it gets darker we will have the chance to see it. It is actually still quite light out yet. Looking forward to seeing it :)

It's a beautiful night here in Nova Scotia and the moon is very bright and seems larger.

 

It was over cast all afternoon and now allthe stars are twinkling as well and not a cloud in the sky.

 

Have a great summer all, be it on a cruise or tending your gardens or sipping a "pick me up" of some kind.

OMG we are neighbors and I am also watching the Moon in Fort Smith . How Funny .

Looking forward to seeing pictures from those at sea.

Unfortunately, Our Florida Moon is obscured by clouds,:( but we do see the hazy light of the moon..:)

 

Cheers...Betty

Not too spectacular here yet, but it's still light out. I'll keep checking. :)

Thanks for your post, it's 5.50 pm Sunday here, as I walked along our hallway saw the beautiful big orange moon rising , called DH to look.

Have been outside to view the moon, feels like we will be having a good frost tonight.

[startwin]

It's a beautiful full moon here - white not orange. :)

Your comment made me go outside to look again, the moon is now much paler than it was earlier.

[Krazy Kruizers]

The supermoon could not be seen until about 9:30 last night.

I took a picture of it this morning at 5 AM -- did not look any bigger than other moonlit nights here outside of Pittsburgh.

Full moon while we were at sea on the Westerdam.

Glad you had a nice full moon.

 

We enjoyed beautiful views from our home last evening.

Here you go - at about 4:30 this morning in El Paso. We had a beautiful clear sky. I actually put my camera in manual mode - usually just set it on auto and let it think for itself. :)

Nice photo.

I just love the full moon when at sea. The full moon with the reflection over the ocean is a beautiful sight. I usually try to plan my cruises so there will be a full moon to view at sea.

I agree! We had a great one on our cruise last year.
