Title: Save the whales!
Post by: dogboy on May 24, 2011, 01:21:08 AM
...a bunch of whales beached themselves off Key West on May 5th.  My girl and I went down to volunteer 2, four hour shifts...

...thats as close as we could get with cameras but I spent about 5 hours in the water holding these whales upright and feeding them fish.  I was on #300, #301, and #304 and took the heartbeat of #300.

...and the water was warm, too. That enclosed area is actually in the Gulf... kinda looks like a pool, but that's the ocean.
