    1. I know it would. Something to do with the flat sea in the Sargasso with absolutely nothing on it, and sometimes storms on the horizon, makes for the most incredible skies. I go back and back to experience it…..

    1. There is something magical about any sunset over a panorama of flat ocean, especially when you’re in the middle of it. I could imagine Tampa might give a similar perception~

  19. Absolutely gorgeous! And your narrative goes along with this sequence beautifully too! As I scrolled down to the end, I thought “sleepy time!” even though my official bedtime is several hours away! ~Lynn

    1. It does have a way of drifting you off to sleep, especially when rocked by the sea. But just watching fills you with some innate connectedness that lulls like a lullaby. Sweet dreams Lynn. <3

    1. Thank you Maiko, you are kind! Everday, everywhere, we are given the gifts of sunrise and sunset. It is just up to us to stop and look, which I well know you do! Be well my friend~ <3

  21. Here is a piece of trivia for Alex Trebek to state. The freshwater eel was thought to only exist as an adult because no one knew where they bred. So strange hypothesis existed for millennia. Then it was discovered that all freshwater eels were born in the Sargasso Sea – – – not far from Puerto Rico! Strange but true. Enjoy your trip and be sure to look over the railing to see if you can see any of these creatures that swim up to the Del-Marva peninsula, then past Philadelphia, up the Delaware River, then take the West Branch of the Delaware to Deposit, NY, then up the Oquaga Creek to Artic Lake (before NY state put the damn dam in to enlarge Artic Lake.
    Happy Sailing!

    1. I am actually home now Wally. I know that is shocking. These were from the crossing this year in April. I didn’t know about the eels in the Sargasso. Fascinating. I did swim with these massive fresh water eels in Huahine in January. They are sacred to the islanders. I also fed them everyday. I have the photos, but they weren’t the best. Eels are a most unusual critter! Cheers to you Wally and hope you are well my friend~

  30. Love this deep orange progression. I did something similar at the beach with sunrise — just snapping away at tiny intervals of time make you realize how fast this all happens. Love your pictures so much.

      2. Oh, of course, duh on me, sorry! This was taken in the Mid-North Atlantic, in the Sargasso Sea, over the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, essentially smack dab in the middle of the North Atlantic.

      2. Those cinammmon buns and the pecan ones are killer. They have a store called Bent n’ Dent in Iowa where they sell slightly damaged food at a massive discount to people who are financially challenged. I was so impressed with the operation and concept, I got into a long discussion with the Amish proprietors about spreading the concept nationwide. Of course, they weren’t interested in starting non-profit franchises all over the US. Remarkable people.

  46. Totally gorgeous shots!! We might have some beautiful sunrises and sunsets, too, but sadly, there are far too many trees and houses blocking the view. Well, on second thought, the trees themselves are lovely regardless!

    1. Awwww, thank you! Trees are lovely, but the ambient light of civilization mutes sunsets which is why they are better away from cities and out in the middle of the ocean, well and in the high latitudes too. Oh, heck they are awesome everywhere! 🙂
