July 31st the Sandusky Bay and Lake Erie were illuminated with a beautiful full moon however my neighbor shared with me that this was a Blue Moon. As we were walking along the Boardwalk and looked out across the Bay what a sight. The water sparkled for miles as we watched the glow of the moon raced across the Bay. This was the night to fire up Thunder Love and take off across the Bay and head out to Lake Erie. The Blue Moon would give us ample light to easily navigate our way home with a GPS. 

What is a Blue Moon?

For a Blue Moon to occur one month must have two full moons. The average time between full moons is 29.5 days. The first full moon in July was on the 2nd and the second full moon was the 31st the second one is called a Blue Moon. So when you hear someone say once in a blue moon they perhaps mean to say not very often. The next full month with two full moons will be June 2007. 

I am making plans for Billy, Fred, and Orrin to join me for a passage onboard Thunder Love for a spirited ride across the Lake with the Blue Moon as our navigator.
