Yeah, well being on a nice warm beach doesn't mean you'll get to see
anything. Beautiful night, right about 65, very soft breeze and CLOUDS.
Lots and lots of clouds. If you got lucky, you could see the moon for a
few
seconds at a time, after watching the pale glow through the cloud cover
for
20 minutes. We went to bed instead.
