February 4 - Bioluminescence




Oh hey I completely forgot a few things.

One algae is everywhere. It lights up in our wake like a massive Christmas tree. SO here’s a pic of it. The other night we completely stopped and the sea was all black. Then we cranked up the engines and immediately this massive blob of LIGHT shot out the back of the boat as the disturbance of the water lit up the algae. Super cool. Sadly my phone wont take pictures of this.

And now we're turning off the lights on the flight deck (big red floodlights so they could do maintenance without bringing the planes below) well now their off and you can see the arcing cosmic dust of the milky way stretch across the sky. I used the big mounted binos to see the rings of Saturn last night.

Oh another thing. I fell. On the textured deck. Like about 2 weeks back. It just healed and I now have this cool looking 8 in long scar on my right forearm. I don’t know why I forgot to mention this before.
