Or it was just a dolphin or sea lion and with an active imagination exacerbated by being in a slightly inebriated state, it grew to epic proportions!

In any story involving a boat and alcohol, creatures are expected to grow to epic proportion.

Where do you think sea monsters come from?

This "glow phenomenon" has even been known to save lives: See the movie "Apollo 13" wherein "Jim Lovell" (actor Tom Hanks) speaks about the glowing wake churned up by the passing of a large ship.... An aircraft carrier, in his case.

And how it led him home.

They have glowing condoms? Gotta get few of those! I always have hard time "navigating". It usually plays out that I end up having sex with an electric socket.

Pick up a GPS. It should get you there.

It looks like it might've been phytoplankton, although its hard to tell since I cant find a picture of phytoplankton that isn't zoomed in.

The flash of light you saw in the sea was not a UFO. Swamp gas from a weather balloon was trapped in a thermal pocket and reflected the light from Venus.

Now if you pardon my sunglasses, would you please look at the tip of this pen?
