Sunsets

Reg took this just near our anchorage at Big Majors Cay - close to Staniel Cay
At home we rarely had time to take in a sunset. Maybe we'd catch it if we were racing on our sailboat, but that's about it. Usually we were making dinner, picking up one kid from piano lessons, the other from hockey or stuck at work.

Every day here the sunset is an event. Cruisers plan 'sundowner' parties, skippers grab their conch horns (horns made of conch shells) and trawler captains get ready to blow their big horns.

We all watch for the green flash - the last gasp of blue meeting orange as the sun slips under the horizon.

This is something I will miss.
