VIEQUES, Puerto Rico -- After dark, when the moon is waning over
Mosquito Bay and stars illuminate the heavens, you can dive into the
sable sea and glow in the dark while you swim. The experience is so
magical that my family glided and giggled through the night waters of
the Caribbean Sea on Vieques, and enjoyed it as much as our daytime
splashing in the gentle, turquoise surf.
The inlet, known as the Bioluminescent, or Bio Bay, is a rare
natural resource, a place where heaven meets the sea. After dark,
the waters glow with a firefly light given off by millions of
microorganisms. Months later, we delight in recalling our night
spent as the bionic family.
