Reminds me of beautiful nights fishing in Hawaii--the squid are incredible, flashing colors and moving like lighting in the water. They really go nuts with light when you catch them (we used them for live bait to catch big tuna--AHI) yeehaw, that was fun! I suspect those days are over for now, since the Japanese and Russians over-fished the outer grounds with Factory ships.

Your angst is understandable papananook - we put up with killjoys all through our lives...

The colors are beautiful - the sea has so much beauty to offer.
