Whale Jumps On Boat
A whale caught a couple of whale watching in South Africa when he suddenly jumped out of the sea, the boat, the destruction of the mast, then back into the sea! You can see stunning images of the moment this is done, these photos were taken by a tourist from Botswana.
"We have seen about 100 meters and I thought that was the end," said Werner Paloma, who was in the boat with his friend, Ralph Mothes. Then, suddenly, he was just beside us. "
"We were lucky to get through it, because the weight of the thing was huge," said Werner.
It was a Southern Right Whale, an endangered species that are known to have vision problems. Is this the reason why the whale jumped ship? No one knows why whales do consider other theories is that the whale attacked the ship on its return chicken goal early in the sea
Well, and Werner Mothes, go also business partners, the first theory:
"It was fun," said Werner. "You have a very bad, obviously, if it is to violate the visibility very poor. The whale has no intention to attack us."
The couple uses the engine of the boat back to shore .
Richard Smith, manager of the Waterfront Boat Company (which offers whale watching trips), doesn't agree. His crew members, while returning to the harbour (from a whale watching trip, no doubt), believe that they saw something different:
Hmmm.
Although both stories are plausible, a middle aged couple deliberately trying to wreck their expensive boat seems a bit less likely to me. Considering the increasing amount of whale watching (and other) excursions that occur annually around the Western Cape, it makes statistical – and logical – sense that a freak incident is bound to happen. (Similarly, as shark cage dives increase, so do the odds of a Great White popping his nose into the cage.)
Whatever caused the Southern Right's wrong decision, R150,000 in damage is what is left.

"We had been taking some pictures and had just decided to head back when a Southern Right whale, between 11 – 14 m long, breached about 100 meters away from us. It then suddenly breached about 10 meters from us and then – right on us! We were sailing so had no engine and we could not even take any action."

"They said the yacht kept coming to the whale. Speeding straight at it and annoying it."
