Oh, yeah, We got that up here in Puget Sound and around the San Juans
big time. Sometimes, at night,it takes your mind off deadheads and wooden submarines, for a few minutes.... JR Skipper wrote: We were based out of San Carlos on a July visit to the Cortez. The old Miramar hotel had a large thatch covered palapa on Bacochibampo beach just out of Guaymas that featured good drinks and mariachi music 'til the wee hours of the morning. We dinked over to Bacochibampo in the late afternoon for dinner, drinks, and a few hours of good conversation after a busy day of diving. Time seemed to slip by. It was about 10 PM when, drawn by the sound of the surf gently lapping on shore, I stepped off the palapa's large concrete floor to walk that sand beach on this moonless night. As I approached the shore with the sound of mariachi music playing in the distance, the scene seemed magical. The bioluminescence of those small waves breaking on shore was surrealistic and illuminated the area with a faint green glow. I must have walked two miles on the beach that evening. I'd seen this glow before and since, but never with so much intensity. Returning the 10 miles to San Carlos in the evening was also an unforgettable experience. Senses were raised as we skimmed across the clear warm waters of the bay. Forward, the surface was not visible, you saw stars, dim lights from the distant shore, and a three dimensional sea with bioluminescent waters highlighting schools of fish and a few monsters at depths up to fifty feet. Astern, the wake offered a bright glow and reassurance that you were not indeed floating *in* the sea. -- Skipper -- -------------------------------------------------------------- Home Page: http://www.seanet.com/~jasonrnorth |

A few yrs ago in summer when we were camping at St. Joseph Peninsula St
PArk here in N. FL. I threw an oyster shell into the bay and thought I musta gotten some bad shrimp and was hallucinating. Rays of light shot out from the splash. Hands dipped in the water glowed and when smeared on ourselves left us glowing. Footsteps left glowing imprints on the sand. Truly bizarre. We see some of the bio light stuff most summers but never again like that. |

I think it's jellyfish. |

Yes, that is the canal that runs next to his home, sort of like "my street"
that runs in front of my home. wrote in message oups.com... NOYB wrote: If I run a net through the water in my canal at certain times of the year, we get the same glow in the water. I think it's jellyfish. YOUR canal? |

You have to give Kevin credit. At least he didn't say "YOU'RE canal?". He
is learning. ;-) "Sir Rodney Smithers" Ask me about my knighthood. wrote in message ...

I think it's jellyfish. YOUR canal? Is that the best you can do to pick a fight? What would be the proper way to refer to a canal adjacent to your property? Here's one that is just as accurate: "If I run a net through the water in the canal-that-isn't-Kevin's..." |
