Whale Leaps from Water, Lands on Couple's Sailboat


Thar she blows!


New York Post

A couple watching whales from a sailboat ended up getting a real close-up view.

The 33-foot southern right whale soared out of the water off Cape Town, South Africa, and landed on their boat, snapping the mast, according to reports.

This species of whale navigates by sound -- and has poor eyesight -- and may have simply not heard the sailboat, which had its motor off.

“Our boat's engine was off and so the whale just didn't know we were there," Paloma Werner told the BBC.

"We were just the wrong boat, in the wrong place at the wrong time."
