Pretty girls; awesome sunset!

We had one of those days of work that leaves you feeling, well, unsatisfied. So we came home, changed and took the dog for a job. When we got to the beach we looked out to a flat bay and said to each other: "why aren't we out on the boat?" So we went out and things just kept getting crazier.Buzzards Bay is known more for its afternoon chop then afternoon calm. So we were fairly excited to head out on near-glass. The air was cool, the breeze mellow, and the light perfect.
We headed out of the harbor into the bay and turned up towards Marion. We really didn't have anything much on our minds and I simply set a course, pegged the throttle, watched Talia's hair flowing in the breeze, the dog shivering and uncomfortable, it was great.

After awhile we decided to head back, and Talia wanted to drive, so I gave her the helm. She is really good with a boat but still a bit unfamiliar with the upper bay. As we headed down we spotted all of the navigational markers, discussed the rules of the road, and simply enjoyed the sunset. I tired to take some photos of Talia at the Helm but none of them came out so well (between the low light and rocking boat).

Just as we crossed back into Mattapoisett harbor things got crazy. The colors spectrum cascaded from orange to deep blue.
Then just as we pulled up to the mooring it really started to peak!
I was exceptionally happy to be out with my girls!
Talia and I hope to have the venue figured out soon. We should have a great post on the venue search, we saw some awesome place in New Hampshire!

ps. and then she made pie!
