I was working out and watching news today over at ClubOne and found that a whale was stuck under the Pier 27.  I guess a whole bunch of people and tourists roamed the area looking to get a shot of it.

What I didn’t know was that it was a dead whale.  Poor whale…

The Coast Guard and San Francisco officials are monitoring a body of a dead whale that is stuck under a pier along San Francisco’s waterfront.Officials say the body of a whale about 25 feet long was discovered Thursday lodged under Pier 27.

A spokesman from the Marine Mammal Center says it appears to be a young gray whale.
