Boaters were treated to an unexpected spectacle of whales breaching multiple times in Dorchester Bay. "The whale was just breaching right there," said Jared Hannigan, who was out fishing at the time.
Two boaters were flung into the Atlantic Ocean when the whale struck the rear of the vessel. They were rescued by good Samaritans, according to the Coast Guard.
