    Now here in California, these glowing dolphins mean that the coast of California is also suffering by an algae bloom, even worse than in Boracay.

    Sailing back to UK from the Caribe .We saw , on a dark moonless night . mid Nth Atlantic . At least ten beautiful missile straight streaks heading straight for the boat. Called all to come up on deck. And we watched this phenomenal light display as they streaked beside us and around, underneath and then led us with their fantastic phosphorescence trails. Twisting and weaving and interlocking . A sight and experience of a lifetime.
