Perhaps you are forgetting a certain angry white whale? Or the Whale ship Essex from Nantucket, stove in by a whale on November 20, 1820? Frankly CW I'm a little taken aback by your atypical lack of knowledge in this matter!

Set the tryworks to fire as there's blubber to render into parmacetti!

I was thinking Che, but they're basically the same thing anyways.
I figure the way this whale was attacking wealthy sailors he must've been a communist.

Re: All Aboard... A 40 ton whale jumps on sailboat.
Thank goodness that guy got pictures. I'd have a hell of a time convincing my insurance company that a whale jumped on my boat and that it wasn't just me sailing and drinking again!!

Re: All Aboard... A 40 ton whale jumps on sailboat.
I've been on a couple whale watches off of Cape Cod. The vessels tend to keep a decent interval between them and the breaching whales.
Well out of harpoon range sadly...
Shockingly, a huge fish (Jerry-"Mammal", George-"Whatever") can cause a great deal of damage and be injured in a collision with a boat!

Re: All Aboard... A 40 ton whale jumps on sailboat.
Wow, that's amazing no one was hurt. All this talk of whales lately has me thinking, they are really ugly huh? The whale in this story looks like a giant space turd. I realize they are intelligent and fellow mammals and all but....
PS - "The Saint" image on the sail is cool.

I think they kind of go from disgusting to horrifying to insanely badass.
I don't think I'd want to be in the water with one though.

The whale had a golf ball lodged in his blowhole & was attempting to extricate it. Titleist, I believe.
