The surf was GLOWING last night.

When I saw it, it was pink.....It was so beautiful. I got down in the sea and waved my arms. The surf waved my movements back at me.....

WOW !!!! It was nothing like that here the other night. Just individual waves lighting up.

It's actually a combination of both plankton and bio-luminescence. Several years ago, I spent the night out at the 51 on a moonless night. Once I turned off the deck floodlights on the boat, my eyes adjusted and I could see perfectly in the starlight. The sea was alive with tiny critters blinking on and off and the water glowed green as you looked down into the depths. After awhile, it gave me a case of vertigo because as you looked out to the horizon, you could not see where the sea ended and the sky began -- it all looked to be one with twinkling stars.

Sounds incredibly peaceful.
