After we finished making the boat a habitable recreation platform for the next few days, we took a walk into town. Some of the other Ha-Ha'ers had gathered at Vera Cruz restaurant for a beer. We did likewise to hear the news from the rest of the fleet. There were some surprises.
Remember the whale we spotted? Apparently we say the least of them. One guy I talked to had sailed among a pod of them for a while before getting some distance from them. The big news we heard was that the oat run by J-World, an SF Bay Area sailing school, sunk. Word was that it was rammed by one or more angry whales until they ripped the rudder off the boat and sunk it. The crew was rescued by the Coast Guard, people said. Wow, scary stuff.
