Yes sir, On the 04x08 Watch on merchant ships -- One sees the sunrise and sunset every day. Getting up for watch at 330am can be tough. However, once nautical twilight begins, energizing rejuvenation commences. There is sometimes a 5-15 minute segment when the sky refracts turquoise rays prior to sunrise. It's a magical time in the morning. Love the way the sun is reflecting off the glassy calm seas. It does not get much better than that -- Epic photos! Looks like you maximized the therapeutic qualities of the adventure -- Thanks for letting us in on it.
