LONDON (Reuters) - A British family's vacation was rudely interrupted
when a 30-foot whale crashed onto their sailing boat off the east coast
of Australia, British media reported on Wednesday. The 10-ton humpback
whale leapt out of the water and pulled the rigging and mast along with
it as it slid down the boat.

"I was below deck when there was a hell of a crash from port as it leapt
out of nowhere," said Trevor Johnson, who was on the boat with his wife,
two sons and a son's girlfriend. "It's amazing that no one was hurt or
killed, but it was a terrifying experience," he told The Daily
Telegraph.

The boat was 10 miles away from the shore and the radio equipment did
not work. They were eventually towed to dry land after using a mobile
phone to ring for help.
