Tomales Bay: Night-Paddle

Kayaks ready for the excursion.

You can never have too many of these, right?

Launched into the bay; the pause before the paddling begins.

We went paddling to see the bioluminescence of the dinoflagellates, the planktonic fireflies of the bay here, as well as the vast array of the starry, starry night, neither of which proved to be photographical (by my hands, anyway).  I would have liked to document the sea-glitter clinging to paddle and gloves in the water and even lifted out of the water.

Conditions: no swell, no chop, so calm waters; hardly any breeze at all; chilly temperatures to be met with wool and fleece and excitement at being on that water and beneath those stars.
