2019 Full Moon Rise / Sunset sails

Rockland Harbor is wonderfully situated to sail out by the lighthouses, and return into the sunset as the moon rises behind us.​

Moon rises work well a day or two before, or the day of the full moon.  On the day before the full moon, the moon rises about 20mins before sunset, then, the day of the full moon, it rises just after sunset, and, the day after the full moon, it rises 50 mins after sunset.

For the 2019 sailing season , the full moons are:
May 18th, the Strawberry Moon
June 17h, the Buck Moon
July 16th, the Sturgeon Moon
August 15th, the Corn Moon
September 14th, the Harvest Moon 
October 13th, the Hunter's Moon.  Check with us for details.
