Re: Whale takes sailboat for a ride.
Joshua Slocum recounts a similar experience but, did not get taken for a ride like these folks did. I wonder if the whale thought it was helping the boat out by dragging it out to deeper water.

Re: Whale takes sailboat for a ride.
We saw humpbacks five miles out from Sorrento, WA yesterday. First say one a hundred metres or so off the port side. Then another one surfaced about twenty metres off the bow - we didn't know it was so close.

Re: Whale Takes Sailboat for a Ride
Nothing strange there. It was probably just a Pilot Whale.
