SYDNEY
A sailor whose yacht was destroyed by a humpback whale off New Zealand said he had got a good “vibe” from the giant mammal and thought it was trying to say sorry, local media said on Wednesday.
Lindsay Wright was sailing his brandnew 10-meter (30-ft) trimaran, named Loose Goose, about 80 nautical miles off the west coast of North Island on Tuesday when he hit the whale. Wright said he had been sleeping when he was awoken by a loud noise and rushed up on deck to find himself staring at a whale's head about a foot away.
"I got good vibes off him. I thought he was trying to say sorry mate, I didn't mean to," Wright told New Zealand television.
