RANDOM:
Amazing story from San Diego to Puerto Vallarta. Racing down nice 13-15 knots and all of a sudden BOOM!!! A great big, no HUGE gray whale comes completely across the boat, so of course boat speed down to almost 0 and a knock down! The whale was not happy so she even gave us another go with her tail. Everybody was shaking and with bruises. Amazing! Strong Raincloud had no damage. Can you imagine that????
