One clear night, stars you could read by, shooting stars everywhere, total peace and quiet on the smooth downwind run, dolphins cruising alongside... suddenly the whole boat tipped sickeningly. Twenty-eight tons, almost keeled over. In the cabin people were on the floor, smashed crockery everywhere. They'd been rammed by a whale! At Tahiti the boat was hauled and they found a huge ding in the transom. Fleetwood Mac had almost lost Mr. McVie.

Does anybody know about articles, news that described about this, too? I found photos of John on a boat but I don't know if it was the same one from this episode.

I think in one of his Q&As John went into some detail about sailing mishaps? I'm pretty sure he mentioned being rammed by a baby whale. But I've never seen any articles etc about it.
