Thank you Talya!

Talya and Lenya(?) baptized me in the bioluminescence tonight. It was the blue light special in the cove at dark. We started for the half at 6:00 under heavy marine layer. Red tide was thick to the Q, then cleared to the half. Water temp was a cheeky 61 degrees (below my official wetsuit threashold temp). But I was unprepared and swam in a rash guard instead. Which made for a quicky swim. Too quick to experience the full impact of the glowing red tide, according to Talya. So we retreated to the hot tub for 10 minutes, then went back out! By that time it was much darker, and the blue glow was brilliant. Wow. Thanks, Talya, for insisting that we make the best of this evening!
