Hung over. A night on the tiles at the Hilton doesn't do me any good.

Other than that A1, your Hon Secretary (Cruising)(Rtd)

Wanting a link to the CCC Hon Secretary (Cruising)? Or would the Rear Commodore suffice - photograph available c/w wig....

December 21st, a bad day for a night sail, our beautiful star twinkled night sail had to be cut short, by at least a minute, nearly put us off our hot choclolate!... /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[pedant] I see nobody mentioned this year that the nights started to draw out on the 19th, although the days were still getting shorter at that point [/pedant] /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
As the sun's started to rise above the horizon agin, I guess it's time to bring forth the virgins and druids and start the traditional fertility rituals... now where did i put that misseltoe?

Acksherlly, the nights start to draw out from about the 11th or 12th

Sunrise/Sunset

It's all to do with elliptical orbits and the like. It leeds to this and the earliest sunset and latest sunrise being offset from the shortest day.

And the winter solstice is tomorrow.

Just off for a night sail to El Hierro
