Whale #1: Hay, watch this.
Whale #2: Dude, that was awesome!

Guessing it’s better to run over than to get breached upon.

Too bad the Lakes around here don't have Whales, as they could cull the Lake Lice infestations

But the impact could have damaged the Hull, which could then act like a Scalpel

Most of the whales I have seen footage of have some serious scars from natural predators and while I would not like to see one hurt, even a cut from fibreglass ( are they fibreglass or plastic ) would probly be like a shaving cut.......I duno .
We had a Humpback whale wash up on the beach here a year or so ago , raised all sorts of hell coz someone beat the local Maori's to the carcase and removed the jaw bone ....and some other bits .
Maori are supposed to be 1st in to recover such things for cultural reasons . Apparently the jaw bone is highly valued for carving as its quite long and straight.
