Favorite Yachting Experience

One of my favorite experiences happened while on night watch sailing a 60’ ketch about halfway between Maui and the Marquesas. A pod of dolphins came to bow ride and left streaks of bioluminescence in their wake while they torpedoed through the water. Watching that in the waters below and then laying back and looking up at an incredibly clear night sky above was a moment that will forever be imprinted in my memory.
