The tragedy comes just a day after two canoers died while trying to get a glimpse of the Bay Area’s captivating luminescence.
Casey Flynn Melia, 36, and his friend, Alexander Ferguson, 37, were found dead on Sunday around 1:30pm after they left for the voyage around midnight in Tomales Bay – a narrow inlet in Marin County, California.
Ferguson was found in the water, while Melia was located on shore, just north of Hog Island, the police said.
Both men, who were wearing life jackets, were pronounced dead at the scene.
Melia and Ferguson were reported missing after the pair failed to return from their trip as planned, the Marin County Fire Department said.

Tomales Bay is known for its dangerously cold water, hazardous conditions near the sandbar and the mouth, and strong afternoon winds.
