Whale Lands on Yacht – Pictures

A 40-ton whale flipped into the air and smashed the mast of a 33-foot boat off the coast of Cape Town, South Africa, on Sunday, July 18, 2010. The couple on board the yacht was not injured, but their boat was wrecked. The whale then slid down the yacht and back into the water. There are reports the boat was harassing the whale prior to the attack.
