Whale strike injures yacht crew near Pebble Beach
Mrs Ralph Campbell recounted a 30-foot whale leaping onto the Lady Linda 45 during heavy seas off Pebble Beach. The creature damaged deck planking and a port side, forcing distress calls before the vessel limped to Stillwater Cove under power. Coast Guardsmen warned the hole above water would have doomed the boat if lower. Monterey fishermen speculated on the whale’s species amid sardine runs.
