Video of Breaching Whale Crushing Sailboat off South Africa.

There has been considerable discussion whether the photo of a Southern Right whale breaching and landing on a sailboat off South Africa is real or Photoshopped.  (See the comments on our previous post.)    A video has now emerged which shows the whale approaching breaching and landing on the sailboat.    We are going to cast our vote that the event was not Photoshopped.

In a related vein, the folks at Yachtpals blog have a wonderful roundup of a variety of “whale tales” documented by photographic or video evidence.   Remarkably of the seven tales they highlight, five are true.
