MOONLIGHT AND THE BIOBAY COMPETE!

IF THERE IS A MOON UP IN THE SKY IT IS HARD TO SEE THE BIOLUMINESCENCE.. SEE MOON CALENDAR BELOW.

If you want the best possible viewing conditions for a biobay visit then plan your trip when there is NO VISIBLE MOON in the sky. Plan ahead!

The best of the Vieques kayak trips start at 4 pm, visit the mangroves, beach and then the biobay after dark! There are many biobay tour operators.

FULL MOON AND MARS: Friday night's full Moon is the biggest and brightest full Moon of the year. It's a "perigee Moon," as much as 14% wider and 30% brighter than other full Moons you'll see later in 2010. But that's not all. Mars is having a close encounter with Earth, and on Friday night, Jan. 29th, it will join the Moon for an all-night-long conjunction. Don't miss it! Sky maps and images may be found at http://spaceweather.com.

Elena offers a motorboat snorkeling trip that visits 3 little islands and several snorkel spots, from Fajardo.

FEEDING THE FISH ON LOBOS ISLAND REEF

Living with a Star

What if you woke up one morning and found your whole planet had been swallowed by the atmosphere of a star?

Get out of bed, look out the window. Auroras are dancing along the horizon. Dark sunspots crackle overhead—each little 'pop' more powerful than a nuclear bomb. On TV, a weather forecaster warns astronauts, "a solar flare is sure to erupt," although he can't say exactly when. Moments later, the satellite signal begins to flicker.

MOON SCHEDULE:


Biobay Companies • Read about mosquitoes and DEET

PLEASE NOTE: There are about 8 nights each month BEFORE the full moon when visibility is limited because the moon gets brighter in the sky during the early evening. Those are the nights to avoid if possible. SO, where you see the moon pictured below, bioluminescent visibility will be impaired, in relation to the size of the moon shown in the charts below.

Kayaking in the moonlight is amazing too!

Viewing the bioluminesence is impaired by moonlight! BUT, it is always beautiful in a kayak out on the biobay, moon or not!

Risks: West Nile Virus and Dengue exists in the mosquito population. You should always protect yourself from mosquito bites. There is a safe alternative bug repellant that does NOT contain DEET. You should find it and use it!

However the mangrove mosquito is not a carrier of either disease; it is the day biting mosquito, aedes egyptii that caries these viruses, more likely found in a populated area.

PROTECT YOURSELF FROM MOSQUITO BITES. . More info and other warnings .
