Scarface

This is Scarface, so called because of a deeply gouged scar on his left cheek, probably caused by an unforgiving propeller blade some years ago. He often keeps the local swimmers company while at the same time keeping his distance,
Today as I walked onto the deserted pier he swam in towards me so fast he was more like a Spearfish torpedo and was surprisingly over friendly. Seemingly he was in trouble and needed help. As he pushed himself high in the water it became obvious the he had three strands of plastic baling cord around his neck and wanted them taken off. I couldn't help him as I had no blade with me but I did have a mobile phone so a local seal sanctuary were soon on the way..... It's such a pity people don't always look for help when they need it... It may be just one call away....just saying
