Wow. I believe that's the first time something like this happened on the Ha
Ha. They have an excellent safety record, but I guess whales will be whales.
Sounds like there was quite a seastate also, so maybe that contributed.

Gray whales often attack boats. Nobody knows why but most think it's a
mating issue.

Hmmm. Might be wise to think out the color of your bottom paint.

Might be better to keep your echo sounder turned off when offshore. Maybe
they think that is a mating call.

The idea of having my boat violated by a whale has me re-thinking
about this blue water trip.

Just write on the bottom of your boat, in huge white letters, "I AM NOT A
WHALE."

Very good! Next time I haul, I'm going to have the yard do this.

Not for gray whales. Some folks think attacks by killer whales stem from
white boats with black bottom paint or visa versa. I think this
plausible but probably not a factor for the grays.
