Back on March 21st I wrote a post about a washed up whale in Fenwick Island, Delaware. If you would like to see it just click on the month of March under Archives, on the left hand side of this website and scroll down to the 21st.
For all of us that were there it was an amazing sight to see this giant whale. I had never seen anything like it. Thanks to MERR, we were able to understand more of what had happened.
