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.

    Woody Allen tells a story about the time his grandfather was having difficulty getting life insurance. The grandfather eventually secured a policy, but because of his age, the premiums were astronomical. At any rate, a few months later the grandfather went to the Museum of Natural History in New York City. In the rotunda, a huge, stuffed humpback whale hung from the ceiling on a chain. As the grandfather was looking up staring at it, the chain broke, the whale fell and killed him. The New York Times reported that "Man killed by falling whale on the corner of 79th Street and Central Park West."

    As luck would have it, that was the only thing for which the policy would have paid.
