A Few Days on the Water in Early August

·#sunset#summer#boating#ocean#islands
A lush green hill covered with bungalows and tented structures rises above clear blue water, with a full moon in the sky.

First evening of a few days on the water, anchored in a bay below a hillside resort — cabins with pyramid roofs scattered up through the trees, a thatched umbrella out on the rocks by the dinghy dock, a strip of beach off to one side. The moon was already up over the ridge while it was still full daylight.

The rest of the evening happened from the deck of the catamaran. The sun came down through a stack of clouds over the smaller island across the channel, and a pelican or something like it cut low across the water right where the reflection was. Rigging creaking, not much else moving in the anchorage.

Numerous bungalows and cabins are nestled on a lush green hillside sloping down to clear water with a small dock.A boat's mast frames a sunset over the ocean with islands and dark clouds.Dark clouds fill a bright sky above a dark sea and silhouetted hills at sunset.Golden sky and dark clouds above calm water with silhouetted land showing sunrays.A silhouetted bird flies over water towards a golden sunset between distant islands, with a sailboat mast on the left.A sailboat's mast frames a sunset over water with a bird flying in front of distant islands.A vibrant orange and yellow sunset over water and distant islands, viewed from the deck of a sailboat.A sunset over calm water and dark islands, viewed from the deck of a boat with a metal pole and ropes.
