Bioluminescence at sea

My mother always says "He will go crazy in Sea" so when I first saw the sea glittering at night, I thought she very well might be right ! Thankfully I had a brilliant cadet on-board, who got the information from Mariner's Handbook Chapter 4 section 4.47 and gave all credits, not to my imagination, but to microscopic marine life.

It is a remarkable natural phenomenon occurring mostly in the Arabian sea. These marine bacterias and organisms emit lights when mixed/churned with oxygen and the bright wake created is mesmerizing, no wonder they are also known as Milky sea. I wish I had a better camera for sharing this Bio-luminescence at sea.
