Have you ever seen a whale ??? Well, here’s a couple who uses yatch for sailing whom were fascinated when seeing a whale weighted 40 ton landing on their ship at Cape Town beach offshore.
This couple is enjoying the seas in the South Africa offshore when that whale jump into the air and bump into their yacht.
Ralph Mothes, age 59, and Paloma Werner, age 50, were helpless when that whale is thrased on the their 33 feet (10 meter) yacht before it slipped again into the water.
Miss Werner said: “This is very awesome but scary. That whale is as big as a yacht size.”
“We saw it from about 100 meters away and we thought it will only stay there. Then suddenly the whale is exactly besides us.”
“I thought it was only swimming under the yacht, but it jumped out from the sea. We were lucky to avoid it, because it is very huge.”
“There were skin cut and fat layer which were left, and the pole is broken. It also bring down the dock.”
“Good thing the hull is made of steel and not from fiberglass, if not then we will be destroyed.”
Moments before that whale hit it’s tail on the water surface as a ritual to communicate with other whale.
Those shaken couple, a professional sailor with Cape Town Sailing Academy experience, used their machine to go back to the shore.
Whale is a common view in Atlantic Ocean Western Cape Offshore which in these days they get near the beach to breed.
Thousands of tourists rush into the beach resort every year to see those mammals when fall in South Africa from June until November.
Hermanus, a popular destination about 80 kilometer eastern of Cape Town, has a whale observer that announces where mammals were seen.
