Max. People: no limit
Other Conditions: We will be finishing after sunset so adequate lights are required (some form of 3600) A good head lamp works quite well. Wearing reflective clothing is desirable. Don’t forget to use those reflective strips you were given!!
Notes: This is the second blue “Super Moon” of the month which is very unusual. The timing works well for seeing a sunset and moonrise at basically the same time making this an extra special evening at the spit.
