I hope they exchanged insurance details afterwards.

That boat in the background must've been travelling quick?

I hope the whale is ok. That would bloody hurt.

I half expected the whale to cause a bit more damage to be honest.

"What's for dinner, Vera?"

"Whale meat, again."

 

 

 

 

No coat to get, as its too hot.

Did the whale steal a camera, a leather jacket and a pair of raybans?

Painful for everyone. The upright stanchions, that surround a yacht and carry the safety wires, are designed to take quite a wallop, but to buckle on a signifcant impact. I would say a breaching mature right-whale would qualify [he wrote with every ounce of understatement]. Then there's all the tension wires and stays holding the mast. I wouldn't have thought that whale got away without injury. Mind you, I wouldn't have thought the people on board would have escaped either. The boat itself, despite being dismasted, didn't seem to do too badly either.

Don't know where, don't know when,

But I know whale meat again,

Some sunny day.
