The man, trying to clean up his messes
It had been 12 years without any humpback whale sightings in the Balearic Islands.
The whale is surrounded by drift nets, prohibited throughout Europe: I could not move its pectoral fins, and very little the caudal fin, since the net stuck in its meat.
He asks us for help with his eyes and allows himself to be released, with his full collaboration, without a wrong move that could put us in danger.
In the end she gives us a look, and goes free out to sea.
