One morning, I woke up very early, just as the full moon was giving way to the predawn light. I grabbed a cushion and went to sit up on deck. It was a warm, windless morning, the water in the bay still and glassy. The combination of a full moon, clouds, and light from the soon-to-rise sun made it unusually light for this hour giving it a dream-like feeling. The only sound was from the birds onshore, much like soundtrack from a tropical rainforest CD. It was so calm and peaceful, one of my special moments from this cruise. -Cyndi
