It took two years for the Goldilocks whale to show up. Not too big, not too small, but just the right size to fit in a freezer. Lookouts around the coast would report a porpoise here or there, but it turned out to be a quiet time for whale-fall. Then, one late-spring Sunday morning, I was called to Helmsdale on the far north coast of Scotland as quickly as transport would take me.
