Rescue Off Mexico

[Rick D]

Here's a story of a rescue from a yacht damaged by a collision with a whale. Shows the value of an EPIRB and of registering it!

From a friend's report on their cruise to Mexico from Vancouver, BC:

Next time, I would not go with black bottom paint. We had a 60 foot whale swim up within 4 feet the other day just checking us out. I think it thought we were looking pretty cute. I don't want to look like a humpback worthy of mounting, so maybe red would be a better choice.

I never thought about that, but that makes good (human) sense, huh?
