On Saturday a pod of 55 false killer whales beached themselves on Kommetjie Beach. Nobody knows why they do this and after many hours of trying to get the whales back out into deep water they eventually had to be disposed of as they were suffering.....a huge blow especially to all the people who valiantly tried to help them. The good news is that the rescuers managed to get 2 of the whales back out to deeper water and they didn't beach themselves again.
And that water us absolutely freezing so hats off to all those people in the water. Even a wet suit doesn't help when the water temperature is that cold. Local residents very kindly set up coffee stations to help the rescuers.
