I met my husband when I bought his sailboat. (I got a boat and he got to keep the boat, the money and gained a wife.) Where we had it docked (upstate New York), we had a lot of friends with sailboats and we would often night sail on the weekends. One night we were out and the northern were as bright as I had ever seen them. It was pretty surreal to be sailing at midnight while watching the northern lights light up the sky.
