'Twas the Night Before Christmas...almost

We had a spectacular sunset tonight. A welcome sight after the Christmas Trade Winds have been roaring all day and are continuing through the night...18-20 knots with squalls of 30-40 knots in our usually protected bay (!)...seas are running up to 9 feet with 6 second intervals...all in all a pretty messy affair if you have to be "out there"! Luckily we do not have to be "out there"...we are tucked in nicely on our mooring ball and let the winds roar! 
So here is a glimpse of what the sky looked like earlier on...a glimpse, because one can never really capture the intense colors and the beauty of a Caribbean sunset! In between are the Christmas decorations on the deck of ORION...just a few pretty ones :)
