We were able to sign up for some tours while we
were in Puerto Rico so the 1st one was the kayak to the Bioluminecense.
It was unreal. I was scared to death, but once I learned
that Puerto Rico doesn't have snakes or sharks or
anything that could get me while kayaking in the water I was ok.
Still a little scared.
There has to be 3 things for the Bio to work.
It has to be dark...the darker the better, you have to go thru
a mangrove forest...and it has to be shallow.
The deepest area was around 5 feet so it wasn't the falling in
I was nervous about it was something falling on me...
Me and our tour guide.
I was scared. It was dark and very quiet, the only way
for us to see was a little glow stick hooked to the front and
back of the kayak. We went in a straight line and if anything hit you
you would yell to the people beind you...LOW BRANCH.
Once we made our way thru the mangrove forest we were
there. You can't capture it on cameras because of the flash, but it
was crazy. The fish were glowing as they swam around you.
I am so thankful Skee is confident in kayaking. He did an
awesome job in keeping us away from the edge and getting hit
by any low branches.
This is what we went thru. I am really glad it was dark, because
I don't think I would have done it. Looking at this picture freaks me out.
It was such an neat experience.
Something you have to do at least once.
The water would bead off your arms and legs in a blue light.
Well worth the sore arms the next morning from holding onto
the ore so tight!!
