Tall masts illuminated by the light of the moon
The schooner rides at anchor across the lagoon
Sails carefully furled, lashed up, stowed away
Lamps hanging from timbers all gently sway
On deck the bosun completes his night rounds
Reports to the captain that all’s safe and sound.

This paints a vivid picture of a serene scene, I can imagine the soft creak of wood, the lapping of the water, and the distant calls of seabirds under the moonlight ❤️
