Many years ago as a ships engineer, I’d just come out of the engine room after midnight and was having a cold beer leaning on the handrails, we were passing the Great Barrier Reef. A large patch of plankton appeared beside the ship and something large and black swam through, porpoise/dolphin shape 2-3 meters long.
All over in seconds but I can still picture it 57 years later.
