Phil Foster Park in West Palm Beach comes through once again. Some times I wonder why I even bother on getting on boats (not really, but some days...)

Oh wow, these are some of the best photos I've ever seen on this board! The fire worms are to DIE FOR.
And obviously you know your critters exceedingly well... better than me even. Dang!

Thanks...

The fireworms... Well I knew they were nasty little predators (especially the red-tipped ones), but I never realised how fast they were.

Some fisherman threw the remains of the bait fish overboard and literally the three red-tips passed me on the way to the it. Man, they can MOVE.

Rumours abound about what actually was causing a high bacteria count at PFP - it was shut down for swimmers for quite awhile (which didn't stop divers), but it is now completely back open.
