I thought i would share these pictures with you. It isnt too often stuff like this happens. But, I came across something interesting today.
While doing some fishing & beach driving @ Race Point, Cape Cod - Mass. (Next to Provincetown on the very tip of the cape) I came across a washed up whale carcaus. The size of this thing was HUGE. Basically.. what was left of the whale was 1/3 its origional size. What you are looking at is whale bones/blubber ...as a comparison it would be the human equivalent to our 3rd rib to our pelvis. The whale's head/upper body and tail section must have fell off before it washed ashore. To give you some scale..my LC was only about 4ft from the bones.
-Me, Diesel, Land cruiser & whale bones
-Whale ribs (under blob of blubber in front) to the mid spine in the rear.
Whale bone is worth a lot of $$$$..and i was thinking about hooking up a tow strap and draggin it home!! But, that thing smelt so bad it was making me gag :-X ...Plus, I dont think my girl would have liked me bringing home..NO FISH..but, a whale carcus instead! haha..\
