Whale vs. Sailbote
 

Whales don't like 'em, either. :eek:

They were lucky not to have been hurt.

This is NOT a PhotoShopped picture.

Yeah, no chit. I'm surprised it didn't sink the boat. That much weight hitting the deck could have broken it in half.

That is scary!

Holy crap! :eek:
I'd love to see that guy's face at the very instant that pic was taken.

I thought Intrepids where in Florida!!!!!!!:evilb: Wonder if they flip'd the whale off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:grin ser010:

where are the japs when you need them??

good thing there was pics or that would be tough to explain to you insurance agent.

Is that some good luck sign on the sail?? It did not work.

I bet the blowboater tries to sue the whale!

A powerboat would have been able to get out of the way, especially one with twin 1,200s or better.

Just sayin'.

Sailboat for sale.
Previous use as Nishin Maru bait boat.

Hope it didn't hurt the whale.

One BloBoat down, millions to go.

Tuff bote. :eek:

LOL :D

I bet the time from start of breach till the whale hit the boat was MAYBE two seconds. A pro throttleman MIGHT have reacted fast enough, but the shock of seeing the whale would probably have frozen his muscles. Even Mongo's Magic Throttle Arm would've been too slow. :D

hahaha that's great!

Someone said it was a picture of glassdave picking up women at Put In Bay!:party-smiley-004:

HAHAHAH! That's a good one! :drink:

Cat,

I was kidding. You know my sense of humor. Are you having a bad day?

Plus, if the boat was propped for top speed than low-end acceleration would have been compromised, so even the best throttleman on the planet wouldn't have stood a chance.

But I digress.

Not if Chuck Norris was driving. He would have jumped straight up, and once clear of the bolster, deliverd a side kick to the whale knocking it clear of the boat. Then He would have tucked his leg back in and slipped back into the bolster and continued on his way without missing a beat.......so fast that no throttle work would have been needed.....yep.....that's what he would have done alright!

Crazy stuff, first I've ever heard of that happening, not saying it hasn't but one would figure it has to have happened before...reminds me of the pic with the guy in a kayak and the image of a huge shark under him... :eek:

:angry-smiley-038: ta the both of yuz






I use Ho-Ho's for bait :D

Maybe it's just a picture of the guys girlfriend trying to get back aboard.

I got fudggggeee I got hershy kissessss

Prob figured he had the rightaway

Looks like someone caught it on video.

Not the best quality, but still pretty cool. I think even Chuck would have had to be on his A Game to prevent this one. :)
