You Absolutely Cannot Miss This!
Hi Folks,
.
I have just seem something absolutely wonderful, and I want to share it with you.
.
A humpback whale was trapped in a discarded fisherman’s net in the Sea Of Cortez, off the coast of California.
.
Luckily for the whale, three men in a boat saw what they thought was a dead whale lying in the water, but on closer examination were amazed to hear it breathe.
One of the men dived into the water and swam alongside the stricken creature to get an idea of the situation, as it seemed to be helplessly entangled.
He said that when he reached the dying whale, they looked into each other’s eyes for long moments, and it was an overwhelming connection.
.
He tried as best he could to send an unspoken message of his intention to help, and he hoped that the animal would somehow trust him to do so.
It was a dangerous thing to be so close, because the whale was obviously in dire straits and afraid and desperate.
The would-be rescuer could easily have been killed by the massive creature.
.
After finding that the nylon rope was holding the whale’s fins tight to the body and weighing down it’s tail to about 15′ under the water, the man made his way back to the boat.
.
Once the boat was maneuvered close to the creature the men began to try to use one small knife to cut through the net and pull it away as quickly as possible.
.
The whole process ended up taking about an hour before the whale was finally free.
.
The rescuers were then enthralled when the animal then stopped a short distance from them, before beginning to jump for joy.
It stayed with them for about 60 minutes, seeming for all the world to be thanking them for the gift of life.
.
Wonderfully for us, the whale was filmed during the whole thing, so that we can share the whole amazing thing.
.
The equally amazing man who jumped into the sea, is one of the founders of the Great Whale Conservancy Programme, which helps protect whales from damage caused by passing ships.
It was Michael Fishbach.
.
.
How nice to see such happy endings.
Have a whale of a day yourself!
J,x.
