Last March, 21, 2010 I went to Fenwick Island, where a gorgeous whale had “beached”. Probably hit by a boat at sea. It was so sad to find out that this amazing whale had perished. I wrote a post on that day. If you would like to read it and see the pictures, just click on the left hand side of this blog on the month of March, 2010. Then scroll down to the date.
