The marina was full of sailboats
All sleeping sound at night
Most of them on permanent moorings
A few were overnight visitors
They were the ones who woke up first
Chatting incessantly at dawn
Speculating if the sunrise would be special today
The long timers were not amused
Its only a sunrise
We get them here most days
Not worth waking up for
Keep down the chatter
Some of use want to sleep more
The visitors ignored them
Wow look at that big sky
The clouds are lit up orange and purple
Lets turn to watch the sunrise
They were in awe of the spectacle
The rising orange sun floated on the horizon
Was it under the ocean all night
Did the sun just wake up too
Does the sun make these colors for fun
Is he in awe looking at us
This could never get tiring
The sun rose higher and the colors faded away
Soon it was all over with dull cloudy skies
Wow that was amazing
You resident sail boats are so lucky
You should all we waking early daily to watch this
The residents were totally unfazed
Go back to sleep
It was only a sunrise
You need to rest more
We have a hard day of sailing ahead
The wind started to pick up
Chopping up the surface of the bay
A few early sailers appeared
Rolling down sails in preparation
The newcomers were excited
Oh we get to explore this bay
Maybe we will see dolphins
Lets see who can sail fastest
I will win today
The residents were not amused
Why do they let visitors moor here
They always wake up too early
Its was just another sunrise
My sails are still tired from racing yesterday
A few hours later
All the visitors were away sailing
The remaining residents dozed
Peace at last
Thank goodness they left
I hope they all sink today
There was however one dissenter
I am glad they woke us early
Sunrise was truly incredible today
