La Jolla Red Tide

Dropped the camera down a couple places and got no more than 10' down before losing all light. If you have to go, I would recommend glow setups and maybe squid strips for the sabiki. Launching in the dark with the bioluminescence and landing in what looked like the water from a mud bog contest were the highlights.

Sounds nasty but a day on the water is better than a day in front of a screen. Grateful for the work right now but I haven't had a day off in 8 weeks and won't for at least another 4.
