Yep - DEFINTELY a scary story, and one many of us will have experienced! Well written, Welton! Your story reminds me of a very dark and moonless night off a Mediterranean coastline many years ago. Our radars were off - since we were participating in a brief wargame - when we took action and came right to pass astern of a bright red running light...and determined, in the nick of time, that the little flicker of light to our right, apparently drifting to our right, was actually the stern light on the same ship!
Great story, Welton, well told and of high pucker.

There is no bigger adrenalin rush than life or death! And I'm sure that's how that one felt!
