Mosquito Bay on Vieques Island, recognized as the brightest bioluminescent bay on Earth, delivers a vivid nighttime kayak experience for Alex, Cory, Coral, and Kai aboard Wildly Intrepid.12:57 The family dinghy-rides roughly two and a half miles from Esperanza to reach the bay on Valentine's Day, then paddles by hand — gas engines are prohibited inside to protect the dinoflagellates and carry fines.10:34 Every paddle stroke lights the water blue; fish moving through the bay look like shooting stars.13:12 The bay's intensity comes from a narrow entrance that traps the organisms, calm water, low pollution, and nutrient-rich mangroves.13:40 Conditions are best with no recent rain and a dark moon; the crew times the visit on a waning moon approaching new.12:42 Getting to Vieques from Puerto Rico involves a rough motor-sail with wind swinging between 8 and 30 knots.0:54 Esperanza anchorage rolls badly, so the crew moves to Puerto Ferro, a protected anchorage tucked between mangroves and cliffs with 6–9 feet of depth, where swell disappears entirely.8:51 A dragging boat passes during a 25-knot squall at an earlier stop.4:11 Spotted eagle rays appear during a solo paddleboard session in the mangroves near the anchorage.19:57
