...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.
