Dead whale found floating off Ballina

Kim McKee of Multihull Solutions sent this report and photograph:

"Mike and I left Southport on the good ship Sandstone midnight last night and came across this floating dead whale a few miles off Ballina around midday today.

"Awesome site, saw it from miles off – looked like an upturned hull of some sort.

"Hold your nose....

"Once we got to it I was about to call Coast Guard but then a fleet of boats were coming out from Ballina – Coast Guard included.

Jeeez you wouldn’t want to hit it at night...
