SANTA BARBARA, CA — It was whale versus boat, and the whale won.

Jerry Gormley says he and some friends were watching the sunset off the Santa Barbara, California, coast in his 27-foot Bayliner cabin cruiser when a whale joined the party.

He says the whale belly-flopped onto the boat, causing considerable damage.

Gormley says the whale made a second run at them, knocking over a passenger who cracked a rib. Gormley figures the whale was bigger than his boat, about 30 feet long.

Whale expert Wayne Perryman says it was likely a gray whale. He says the whales are rarely aggressive and sometimes just get curious about boats.
