Family Boat Trip Ends as Whale Jumps Aboard

LONDON (Reuters) - A British family's vacation was rudely interrupted when a 30-foot whale crashed onto their sailing boat off the east coast of Australia, British media reported on Wednesday.

The 10-ton humpback whale leapt out of the water and pulled the rigging and mast along with it as it slid down the boat.

"I was below deck when there was a hell of a crash from port as it leapt out of nowhere," said Trevor Johnson, who was on the boat with his wife, two sons and a son's girlfriend.

"It's amazing that no one was hurt or killed, but it was a terrifying experience," he told The Daily Telegraph.

The boat was 10 miles away from the shore and the radio equipment did not work.

They were eventually towed to dry land after using a mobile phone to ring for help.

...and that's why Jews never become captains
;-)))

I thought it was because they were too busy oppressing the world ... :rolleyes:

i've honestly never seen anything as beautiful as watching a humpback whale - in nature - breach. It just reminds you how wonderful the world can be. On the report I heard on the radio not one person worried about the whale. Humpbacks aren't aggressive animals so something went wrong.

lol, can you tell my parents used to run trips up from PA to go whale watching in MA

that too!
;-)))

Whats with the thread going to a discussion of Jewish Oppression ?

This is Oprano, by now it should be about tits......
