00:00And we are going to go ahead and watch her head back out into the ocean now.
00:08Thank you all so much for watching and watching this really exciting experience.
00:14We're so happy to send her home.
00:18And hopefully we'll get to see her swim out a little bit further.
00:22A crowd of onlookers gathering at Foley Beach to cheer on a pair of loggerhead turtles
00:28as they make their way back to the ocean.
00:31The two turtles, Bree and Greer, were released back into the sea
00:36after spending months at the South Carolina Aquarium's Sea Turtle Care Center.
00:41Bree had turtle syndrome, which left her thin, lethargic and severely dehydrated.
00:47Plus, she was covered in leeches.
00:49And Greer had a severe case of pneumonia and was stranded because of cold stunning.
00:55Officials say both sea turtles were in good health before being returned to their natural habitat.
