Aye, it was a bright one.

The last time I was up on Lake Superior diving on Isle Royale, we had the luck of timing the moon's being it's closest to the earth for something like the next 12,000 years (if I remember correctly). I woke up in my bunk at about 0300 thinking there was a car heading right toward me. It turned out to be the moon, HUGE and low on the horizon right above the pines, with it's twin reflected in the bay where we were anchored for the night.

I ended up sitting up most of the rest of the night, just staring at the gigantic, buttery-yellow moon.
