Sailing to Newport Beach
We sailed out of San Pedro past Angel’s Gate Lighthouse at a 9 knots and averaged about 6-8 knots en route to Newport Beach on the Eve of the Super Blood Wolf Moon. I didn’t believe the SBWM actually existed, so I had to look it up.
This phenomenon is actually the convergence of a few lunar events. For one, there's a total lunar eclipse, also known as a Blood Moon. This occurs when Earth comes between the Sun and Moon, causing the Sun’s light to bend towards the Moon—hence the spooky reddish hue.
Secondly, the Super Blood Wolf Moon takes place during a supermoon. This occurs when a moon’s full phase coincides with the point in its orbit when it comes closest to Earth. These two factors make it look 14 percent larger and 30 percent brighter than it normally does, according to Space.com.
Finally, a full moon in January has been called a Wolf Moon ever since colonial times, so that's where the "wolf" part of the name comes from.
