I stand corrected, but it's interesting that they sank the boat, but didn't kill and eat the family once they were in the water. Maybe they got angry at the vessel?

They never explained "why" the whales had done what they had done. And that snippet didn't mention that the dingy was only about 8 feet long. With SIX people in it! They had very little freeboard, and everyone had to adjust their weight every time one person had to move lest they take on water.

Sorry to all for the off-topic discussion. It's a fascinating book if anyone cares to read it.
