brambor Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Great trip. The moon and our boats embellished with glowing '4thofJuly Necklases' bobbing next to the Anisquam Light ... great memories Another nice night paddle initiated by Christopher.

bob budd Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 The moon painting a bearing across the nearly flat water. The smell of the bonfires on Wingaersheak (sp?) beach. The (bioluminescent) glowing wake of your paddle. Fine use of a Friday evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffcasey Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 ...Wingaersheak (sp?) ... There is no correct way to spell Vinegarshriek.....the locals use that to intimidate furr'ners. (and the bonfires were on Coffin Beach, anyhow). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lbeale Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Thanks for the company and the paddle--Thank you Sir Christopher for posting this trip--just the beginning I am sure of trips this summer-- The animal howling at the full moon -- the best ever -- listening to grown men howling at the moon -- what more could a girl ask for?

brambor Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Bio what ? :-) While everyone was happily chatting I was just happy to keep to boat the right side up (sweating it) so I did not really notice the bioluminescence. Although on the way back I did notice something which I thought was catching the light of my lamp planted on the back deck. Perhaps it wasn't the lamp but was the bioluminescence. The moon painting a bearing across the nearly flat water. The smell of the bonfires on Wingaersheak (sp?) beach. The (bioluminescent) glowing wake of your paddle. Fine use of a Friday evening.

bob budd Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Bioluminescence is the property of living organisms to emit light, like fireflies. In this case microorganisms in the ocean glow when disturbed. I wonder if rolling generates a filmable bioluminescent trail, it might be interesting to view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
