A blustery night here last night on Bowen as a weak front moved through. Winds backing southwest have stirred everything up.
Yesterday was a fun day...50 people crammed into Artisan Eats to watch the World Cup Final (won of course by Spain!) following which we commiserated with many of our Dutch friends here on the island both in person and virtually. Feeling bad for Teun, Betty and Thuys, Tanya and Jim, Clement, Edwin and others. Remembering too Miriam and Remy who owned the bakery where Artisan Eats is now, and imagining what it would have been like there if they had still been running the place. Probably painted orange.
The water in the sea is very murky now, but full of plankton and very bioluminescent at night. While the moon is young, now is a good time to go swimming at night if you want to see a sea of light.

Hello,
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if you would be able to tell me more about the bioluminescent water? I am really hoping to make this happen for my wife as a surprise. We live in Vancouver and could easily get to Bowen Island. If there a time and place that is fairly reliable to experience this? Thank you very much.
You can see it most times of the year, but the best time is during the new moon in August. Dark night and warm water so you can swim in it which is cool. There is no guarantee of seeing it but I have seen it at all times if the year.
