Five Years 'afore the Mast

Jokers to the right:
This is the finish line of the Round Ireland, a 5 day non-stop race circumnavigating Ireland.
Now, I can definitely confirm that Ireland is indeed an island.

Overview Effect:
Sailing a boat from Mallorca to Gran Canaria, and on the 5 day non-stop leg from Gibraltar, I witnessed the rising and setting of the Sun and Full Moon, 180deg from each other.
Over the 5 days their positions changed, and I became aware of the position of the bodies in the solar system and my progression on the Earth.
Astronauts call this the Overview Effect and it was very special situational awareness.

Ahch-To:
A view of the Skelligs on the Round Ireland sail race.
Now you know why they never found Luke...

Black Energy:
Nordkapp, the most northerly point of mainland Europe, (71 deg N) that faces north and receives 24 hours of sunlight during the summer.
As the boat navigated around the cliffs, it was hit with a sudden and surprising warm tropical breeze, despite the surrounding Arctic air.
