Upwind view

We quickly moved upwind. This whale had not beached itself and then died. It had obviously been dead for quite a while before washing up on Bolsa Chica State beach, and it had started to decompose quite nicely. As Emeril says, I wish you had smell-o-vision, so you could get the entire experience. You could see the marks made by the machines as they had drug the carcass up from the water line to a spot high enough on the beach that they could make a hole big enough and deep enough to bury it.
