    Sunset Tie

    Yes, a green flash is a rare sunset phenomenom occuring over water. We collect sunset memories, many as we travel by water. Once, in the Abaco Islands, Bahamas, we were treated to a green flash. The name ties our cruising on the water and love for the beauty of nature to our new-to-us green MINI. One, which has brought us so much fun that we went out an purchased a chili red one.

    Cool name!

    A green flash happens just as the sun dips below the horizon on a clear day at sea. The sun shines, just for an instant, through the sea causing a bright green flash of light at the horizon.

    It is a pretty rare occurrence, conditions must be just right. In nearly 30 years of working on ships, I've seen it twice.

    Chili Red Also

    Mentioned in previous post that Green Flash inspired us to expand the garage to include a new-to-us Chili Red R53. Should have illustrated the comment with an image - so have attached below.
