Very pretty!

Congrats with your first seascape! In case you will want to proceed with investigation of moonlit seas - keep in mind that reflection of moon path is directed vertically down to the viewer, same as reflection of sails. However shadows may be under the angle as you did yours. You also may be interested a bit about how to create an interesting Moon - I can suggest you to read this article: https://www.twoinchbrush.com/articles/moonshine-trick

Thanks so much for the feedback. Will definitely check out that article.
