After seeing Ron's sunset photos (nice!).....I'd definitely say that seeing the sunset beats the dark! Norm, I joined the AMC group for the night paddle. It was fun using headlamps and deck lights....and seeing the Boston skyline glowing in the distance. Also loved the moonlight on the water and the starlight sky....no doubt, it was fun being on the water at night.....but it would have been 10 times more fun if the Turkey's had joined in!!!!
Looking forward to seeing everyone...hopefully soon!

That AMC night trip looked like fun. I was tempted to join you, but A) I'm not an AMC member, and B) I was desperate for food, and a 23-oz Harpoon was getting lonely waiting for me. (Ok, so 'B' was the deciding factor...)
I've been wanting to go on a night paddle for some time, but I'd actually forgotten about it, and I'd like to put something together like that. I don't know if it should be a one-time replacement for a regular Thursday night paddle. Since the sunsets are getting shorter, it might not be a bad idea. We could go to Stars and do that first. Oh, wait a minute... maybe that isn't such a good idea.
One thing that occurred to me is that at night, most of the scenery is going to be invisible (World's End, the islands, etc.), so I was thinking that maybe it might be more interesting if we paddled in an area with more civilization. The first place that pops into my mind would be launching from Abigail Adams and paddling out past where the water shuttle launches, or maybe north of there. It'd be interesting to see that area at night.
Anyone interested?
