We often laugh about taking photos of sunsets at sea. The reasoning is that you only need one in your collection, because they all look the same. That may be true visually, but each day and each night at sea is unique in it's own way.
Bear and I just watched the sun set behind Fraser Island in Australia. We sat together on the fly-bridge, he with his Bundaberg Ginger Beer and me with a glass of wine, and toasted the beautiful setting sun. We are cruising along in smooth seas and clear sky with only 130 miles to go to Brisbane. Our last sunset at sea in our grand adventure. To be honest, I don't remember my first sunset 'at sea', it was probably on Lake Superior. I will never forget this day's sunset. Yes, it looked like many that came before, but as we think about having dinner and settling in to our last overnight passage aboard Oso Blanco, it is very different. For the first time, there is doubt about there being another. There was no way to capture that in a photo.
