Locals and vacationers keep the George the baby sperm whale afloat for approx. 6 hours.
Sky Trak Fork lift, supplied by Contractors Depot ,turns up with a custom made deck to lift George from the water.

Mattresses supplied by Tiffin Interiors are placed on the decking to avoid damaging the George.
It took a bunch of strong guys to get the George onto the deck.

George is on the deck.  The crew from Gulf World check him over to make sure he is comfortable before the ride over the dunes.
