Lobster Hunting in Santa Barbara

Had a great time this weekend lobster hunting with my good friend Ben. Last week Ben kayaked for 10 hours along side Ned Denison as he swam 26 miles across the Santa Barbara channel. Catching lobster with a net requires bait & patience. We used cat food to lure in the shy creatures. Didn't catch a lobster but did manage to catch a crab. I brought along my trusty Casio Exilim EX-Z600 point and shoot camera. I put the camera in a ziploc bag and prayed I didn't drop it. As we headed back to shore I notice the water glowing with light as I paddled the kayak. We were caught in a red tide. Super cool! You could cup your had with water and see hundreds of shooting stars zip all over the place. It was an awesome night out on the ocean.
