THE STRANDING Found stranded on a sand flat at low tide, making no attempt to head back to the water.  A commercial fisherman that lived in the neighborhood knew something wasn't right and called Wendy Cluse of NC Wildlife Resources.  He and his girlfriend kept Gale comfortable by pouring water over her until Wendy could arrive.  They, along with some other kind citizens, helped carry her off the flat and into her truck.  
THE TREATMENT Antibiotics, clean water, good food, Gale is on her way to recovery.
