[Diana in Wisconsin]

I went whale watching in San Diego Bay a number of years ago.

One HUGE whale breach that got us all soaked - and then a Navy Submarine surfaced right NEXT to our boat; equally as unnerving!

I really don’t like open water. :(

Prayers up for the victims and survivors. Those rescued will have quite the tale to tell...

Ditto on the prayers. :-(

My wife also doesn’t much like being in a small boat on open water. But, for her it’s more being on deep vs. shallow water. I keep telling her that over 6’ (she’s petite) it won’t matter much except to the recovery crew. That’ll get me an angry glare!

"The exact circumstances surrounding the incident are still to be established.”

Police on Sunday were tight-lipped into whether a whale caused the capsize, only describing the incident as a “collision”. It’s understood original distress calls from the vessel had mentioned a whale. Large whales had been seen in the area in recent times, according to the mayor.

Starting to look like a true case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Very sad.
