A man and his family nearly drowned after their boat hit a sleeping whale in the Atlantic ocean.
Zach Small, 33, his partner Kimberley Pelletier Girard, 29, and his daughters Anua, eight, and Willow, five, were sailing their catamaran from the Azores to the UK when disaster struck.
He heard a bang and saw water gushing in under the bed, and realised they'd struck a whale when he found a chunk of blubber.
