Our good friend Jimmy was the one who alerted us to the green flash phenomenon that occurs at sunset when the conditions are right. For one to happen, the sun must set clearly over the water with absolutely no clouds between you and it. Contrary to what you may think, the sighting of a green flash does not require drinking cocktails, but usually that is just what one in the islands on a boat is doing at sundown.
We've been watching and waiting to observe one for over three decades since Jimmy first taught us about it. WE FINALLY SAW ONE! It was not a quick flash, but more like a lasting pea-green circular glow that hung above the horizon for 6-8 seconds after the sun went down. It was very cool- thank you, Jimmy!
(Sorry, no photo- couldn't even find a Google Image that matched what we saw.)

Excellent! Very rare, but we have seen it on Lake Michigan more than once, too.
