THE GLOWING BIO BAY IN VIEQUES PUERTO RICO
Mosquito Bay or Bio Bay in Vieques, Puerto Rico is an amazing place. It is the brightest glowing bioluminescent bay in the world. I jumped on a few kayak tours during the night of a new moon and saw this incredible light show.
Honestly, it was more amazing that I imagined. I had read a review or two, but wasn't sure if it was worth the trip to the island. It was. The bay is extremely bright, and until now, it was very hard to capture on camera. I recently picked up a Sony a7s which is a beast in low light, and was impressed with that it could capture. This has rarely ever been caught on Camera.
The government is doing a good job at keeping this place pristine. In some areas of the world you can jump in, splash around, use gasoline engines, and generally just destroy the ecosystem these little guys live in. Here in Vieques, Puerto Rico, you are not allowed to swim, or use gasoline. Nearby light pollution has to be kept to a minimum, and there give Bio Bay some days off now and again to recover. This is probably why it remains the brightest in the world. High Five for sustainable eco tourism. I wish everywhere was this forward thinking.
This was one of my best travel experiences. Like I said, it's worth the trip!

Vieques Adventures - Exploring the Red Mangroves by Kayak
Today we took the kayaks and our fishing poles to explore some of the mangrove tunnels and channels along the bioluminescent bay, Puerto Ferro, on Vieques Island.
The root system of the red mangroves supports an incredible number of species and its biodiversity is rivaled only by the nearby coral reefs.
-Garry Lowe
SHORT HELLO from our vacation on the island Vieques, Puerto Rico

Aquafenzy Vieques Mangrove Tour 8.28.10
Vieques red mangroves kayak ecotour. A great paddle through the fascinating mangrove canals and tunnels before dinner on the beach and Biobay after dark.
Bio Bay Tour
In a cove located south of Vieques called Sun Bay, once glowed the worlds brightest recorded bioluminescent bay. The Bay was a source of income for many islanders and not only did the hurricane destroy business’s equipment and vehicles, it destroyed the bay itself.
The delicate ecosystem was contaminated with fresh water rains and damaged the mangroves that fed the dinoflagellates vitamine. According to our tour guide, it will take at least a year for them to grow back. The dinoflagellates are a single-celled plankton that light up when disturbed, and when at it’s best can light up the entire bay and reveal the fish that swim below.
On Christmas eve, myself and 3 other journalist set out on a Bio Bay tour with Dindin’s Biobay tours Kayak & Snorkeling Fly fishing. Using 360 video, we captured what it’s like to go on a one of a kind tour while showing the devastation of the bay.

Tarpon Fishing Puerto Rico DIY
Tarpon Fishing Puerto Rico DIY
The Silhouette crew has gone south to Puerto Rico to catch the mighty tarpon DIY. None of them have ever tarpon fished or been to Puerto Rico. So, it's going to be a huge challenge to get their hands on the Silver King of the lagoon!
If you enjoyed the video, please cast us a like, and we would greatly appreciate if you SUBSCRIBE to our channel!! If you have a lake, river or stream in Southern Idaho that you would like to see a fishing tutorial done on. Please leave a comment about it and we will try to make it happen. Our mission is to entertain as well as help our followers catch more and bigger fish! Thanks!!
Here is a detailed listing of tackle prices, airlines, and hotel accommodations we used as well as a good place to purchase the tackle in San Juan.
You can purchase all your fishing tackle at West Marine store in San Juan if you need to. Puerto Rican prices are a bit more expensive than ordering online and they have a 12% sales tax.
West Marine by far had the most extensive tackle, minnow nets, buckets, bait and gear that we found in San Juan. The staff was very helpful and knowledgeable about what to use for each fish species.
address: 135 Ave Arterial B
San Juan, PR 00918
call: 787-998-1891
- The four of us booked our round trip flights and 6
nights stay for only 613.00$ each. We did book 6
months in advance with United airlines.
- Hotel accommodations were at the Tres Palmas
Resort in San Juan. The hotel is located right
across the street from the ocean. It included a
good continental breakfast and the staff were
very nice and helpful.
Tres Palmas Resort phone number: 787-727-4617
- We each brought our medium heavy salmon rods and
consolidated them all into one hard case that
cost a total of an extra 60.00$ total in luggage
and we all split the cost of that.
- Each person brought their own reels that we
carried in our luggage. Two of us used the
Shimano Corvalus 400. 99.00$ at Sportsmans
Warehouse. They easily held up to the tarpon.
- 20 lb Trilene big game monofilament used on our
reels - 10.59$ on Amazon.
- 30 lb Trilene big game monofilament for leader -
10.59$ on amazon.
- 5/0 Owner's circle hooks (10) pack - 5.99$ at
Sportsmans
- 5 gallon bucket used for bait bucket - 7.00$ at West
Marine and Walmart in PR.
- 6 ft minnow net - 47.00$ at West Marine
- Super Float bobbers - 2.99$ at Sportsmans
* A large net is recommended as the terrain is
broken and we did lose one fish right at the
bank.
* We also highly recommend a rental car. It was
approx. 100$ a day and the rental is at the airport.
There are Taxis and Uber drivers. But if you are not
bi-lingual. Some drivers English is poor. Our Uber
app did work as well on the island.
- Grand Total: 757.00$ plus food and transportation
Total based on that you have your own rods and reels
with a hard case to transport.
* There is a tackle shop very close to Tres Palmas that
did have limited tackle, hooks and sinkers. They also
offered very affordable charters for tarpon and other
saltwater fishing.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping!

SUMMARY
=======
Saint Croix () is an island in the Caribbean Sea, and a county and constituent district of the United States Virgin Islands (USVI), an unincorporated territory of the United States.
St. Croix is the largest of the islands in the territory. However, the territory's capital, Charlotte Amalie, is located on Saint Thomas. As of the 2010 United States Census, St. Croix's population was 50,601, its highest point is Mount Eagle, at 355 metres (1,165 ft). St. Croix's nickname is Twin City, for its two towns on opposite ends of the island, Frederiksted on the western end and Christiansted on the east.
