With the October sun setting early and a new moon phase, the visibility for the peak of the Draconids meteor shower is expected to be excellent during our time on the water! Although the Draconids is not the most impressive of meteor showers, with an average of 5-10 meteors per hour, the skies will still be primed for a magnificent night under the stars.

The Draconids will last from Oct. 6th - 10th, peaking on Oct. 8th. The astronomical forecast indicates excellent visibility on the 8th and good visibility for the 6th, 7th & 9th.
