Last Leg

"For the second night in a row now, Venus and the moon startled me as they were coming over the horizon and I confused them for ships/yachts. Sounds dumb but Venus looked like the stern light of a sailboat's tricolor. I even doubled checked it on the radar b/c as it continued to rise it looked like we were about to overtake the sailboat. As for the moon, it doesn´t light up the sky like the sun does when it comes up, so it just looks like a very bright red dot on the horizon as it peeks its head up and it catches you off guard. Only for a split second though. Many of the other stars also look like distant ships on the horizon."
