Hi all

Try explaining this on the insurance claim

At least no one was hurt and the whale seemed ok.

A breaching whale has crash-landed on a sailboat in Table Bay, South Africa narrowly missing the vessel’s occupants and leaving in its wake bits of blubber and thick skin.

This picture shows the southern right whale seconds before its massive body landed on the coach roof of the boat, flattening the steel mast and bringing down the rigging before sliding back into the water and disappearing into the distance.

“It was quite scary,” said Paloma Werner, who had been out sailing with her boyfriend and business partner, Ralph Mothes, of the Cape Town Sailing Academy.

“We thought the whale was going to go under the boat and come up on the other side. We thought it would see us.”

“It’s definitely very badly bruised, but probably did not break anything,” she said. “It’s definitely feeling it today.”

“It gives a whole new meaning to having a whale of a time,” she joked.
