But the only time I thought I was being chased was by a sperm whale, that chased me at 12-14 knots for over 15 minutes, frequently slamming its tail on the surface. This was 400 mile north of the Azores. When I arrived at Falmouth, an old friend was anchored there, and his steel boat was badly stove in near the bow above the waterline. He had been rammed by a whale in the same place as me. And a few months ago, I read of a British(?) boat sunk in the same area. So I have a theory there's at least one big bad whale out there. http://www.ybw.com/news-from-yachting-boating-world/three-british-sailors-rescued-azores-yacht-collides-whale-53284John Pedersenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04075810649821408370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4354509970687101247.post-25973570700575060772017-10-18T16:45:41.987+01:002017-10-18T16:45:41.987+01:00whales chasing you?whales chasing you?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17285259678087252750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4354509970687101247.post-12373576704360649072015-04-19T16:58:48.365+01:002015-04-19T16:58:48.365+01:00Wishing you a safe and joyful transit.Wishing you a safe and joyful transit.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05059329340892160877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4354509970687101247.post-27612331805182345702015-04-17T11:38:22.132+01:002015-04-17T11:38:22.132+01:00Fair winds, lots of fish and a safe landfall!Fair winds, lots of fish and a safe landfall!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00590787037834059445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4354509970687101247.post-83947430190563149772015-04-15T21:36:25.267+01:002015-04-15T21:36:25.267+01:00good luck, all the best, Lesley.good luck, all the best, Lesley.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4354509970687101247.post-87467350999967200682015-04-15T17:24:23.169+01:002015-04-15T17:24:23.169+01:00Good luck!Good luck!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09616030390449236221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4354509970687101247.post-19032358992728938192015-04-15T17:02:20.922+01:002015-04-15T17:02:20.922+01:00Fingers crossed.
