6. Back in the early 70's, swimming at night in phosphorescent water

in a deep tidal creek off the coast of southern Georgia, we saw a couple of heads pop up out of the water near us, floating in the same direction with the tide. An instant of panic, then plain awe. Those were very large turtles back then. Don't know how they're doing down there now.
