A short walk down the beach from the fishing shack, a dead whale sat in the surf. It is perhaps a baby humpback whale, looks like it has been dead for a while, quite mushy with lots of bits chewed out by sharks. It smelled pretty bad too. But amazing, even in its putrid state, it was graceful and lovely as the waves moved it around. It had probably washed up a day or so before because as the week went on, it ended up buried deeper and deeper in the sand.
