I wonder what it’s like to hit a whale at 50 mph.

It’s an amazing thing to experiance. We hit one in the ship I was on believe it or not. Not enough to knock you out of your chair, you can feel and hear it as it slides down the side of the ship.

I would’t want to be either the whale or the guys on the ship...I could see a lot of people flying into bulkheads...

We were doing about 25 or 30 knots when we hit that one.

Don't know about at 50 but we (USCG 378' cutter) hit one at 30kts/ 35mph. Not much drama...
Sharks ate well though.
