THE BURNING BOAT!

So we are sitting at the “café” (where we get internet) and suddenly Dave says “look at that, what it is?” We both sit there looking at what looks like flames way out on the horizon.

Slowly its getting bigger and Dave exclaims that it must be a boat on fire.

Then it all becomes clear. What we can see “burning” was in fact the moon rising! It was bright orange at first glimpse and huge and as it rose it slowly morphed from orange to gold to light yellow to cream and then finally to its brilliant white, taking on its normal size along the way.

The moon was full and a gem hanging upon nothing. The light from it glistened across the surface of the Caribbean as though guiding us. I couldn’t help but think of PS119:105.

Since we have been here we have been hoping that we will be at the beach at the right time to see the moon rise and there it was before us. Stunning!!
