The Gringo Gazette published this account of a tourist boat outside La Paz being upended by a whale. Has anyone else heard about this incident?mtgoat666 - 4-24-2022 at 02:55 PM
From the vid it does not appear that the whale “charged” the boat. Looks like the boat was traveling at speed and launched off a whale, and whale
may have been stationary or surfacing.
From the vid, looks like captain error; the boat hit the whale (the whale did not hit the boat)
There is a reason you are supposed to stay back from whales, to not harass them, and to not get in their way.azucena - 4-24-2022 at 09:16 PM
What I read was Captain was going at excessive speed, and hit the whale. Whales are not known to "charge" boats. One of the passengers was apparently
hospitalized. Captain is to face a multa. I am sure there will be more on this story..LancairDriver - 4-24-2022 at 09:25 PM
Whale charging the boat excuse may be a little hard for the Cap to defend. 4x4abc - 4-24-2022 at 10:13 PM
hard to find anyone in La Paz who is not on drugsmtgoat666 - 4-24-2022 at 10:37 PM
This ABC News article supports the view that this was not a "Whale Attack" but rather the captain's error/negligence.John Harper - 4-25-2022 at 12:59 PM
