Red tide


As you can see we had some red tide (algae bloom).....you can always count on a gorgeous display of bioluminescence in the water on the following night....these phytoplankton GLOW in the dark anytime they are disturbed....so as the waves are breaking on the beach or fish jumping or boats moving there is a magnificent glow...like zillions of fireflys! ..I will try to get some photos next time it happens.....Allan just so happen to choose that day to clean some rocks from the beach!
