Whale strike

That had to hurt. I've spent a lot of time in those waters. Makes what ever size boat you are in feel too small.

Wow! And my girlfriend laughed at me when I brought up the possibility of this exact scenario before our whale watching tour in Iceland…

Can only imagine falling in the water and getting inhaled into the whales mouth and coming out later as a small turd.

People ask me all the time why I don’t go in the ocean. Now there is video proof.

Actually two women kayaking ended up in a humpback whales mouth. They don’t swallow large objects due to the baleen so they were spat back out

Yep, Jaws, i seen that movie at the theatre back in the 70s and i was so taken in that the quarter i had in my hand at the start of the movie to buy popcorn with stayed in my sweaty palm from the opening scene till the end and left an impression on my palm.

 

Years later when i was in the military and stationed in Vieques Puerto Rico we got into snorkeling and everytime i seen a big fish i thought it was a shark and i was gonna die right then and there.
