Ever gotten a whale stuck to your bow?

nope.....but had a grey whale tickle the keel on my Dad's sailboat just outside of Fisherman's Bay to scratch his back.

Thats a crazy picture!

Thats funny, we hit a while in my grandfathers sail boat on the way to Alaska. We were sailing and watching the whales. Then there was a loud hollow thunk and the boat lifted a little and then settled back down. My grandfather said he has had the happen a number of times.
