Night sailing.

Joined some other sailors for a midnight sail the other night. Sailing in the Bay Area is always beautiful. Nestled in the middle of the bay you can see all the cities perched on the hills, with elegant bridges stretching across the waves. 

At night it's a different beauty. The inky blackness of the waves are at once beautiful and terrifying. The tales of

Krakens and sea monsters don't seem far fetched at all. Anything could be waiting in that deep deep dark. 

And the signs of civilization take on a different look at night. Cities glisten in the darkness like jeweled tiaras dotting the hills. The new span of the Bay Bridge pierces the sky like a mast and spreaders.
