seasponge Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Love the intro - "menacing encounter...........made a b-line for the boat" Didn't look to menacing to me. More like a beautiful encounter with an intrigued majestic animal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More like a beautiful encounter with an intrigued majestic animal. Agreed... Love the sensationalist language. Just a shark being a shark, but fear sells.

Nolongeramember Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Probably a stupid question but I'll ask anyway lol. They were saying the shark was bumping the boat so is there a danger a large shark can tip a small boat over? While I'm on it, what about a whale? I don't think it will intentionally do it, but can it surface and tip your boat or do they consciously avoid it when surfacing? Has whales or sharks ever tipped boats before? I know you are no supposed to get close but you always see people approaching these creatures in small boats and I don't know whether to leave the area or don't worry about it.

NaClH2OK9 Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 (edited) I'm aware of articles of Wales tipping boats. And if travelling at night this is a risk of hitting a resting whale. Also lots of reports of sharks chewing on outboards. Though the cause is not clear. The smaller the boat the more you'd have to worry about. I've only a 5m boat. I'd be comfortable with a fish like that around me as long as I wasn't in the water The guys with more experience can probably give better first hand experience.
