North Atlantic solo rower Tom Waddington was having a dull day. It was gray and rainy and there was little to alleviate the slog of his challenge to row from Newfoundland in Canada to Penzance in the UK (he started earlier this month).<\/p>\n

But all that was about change. Big time. And Waddington caught it all on camera.<\/p>\n

Because Waddington was joined by some pilot whales. Just a few at first. And initially he\u2019s delighted by his new travelling companions.<\/p>\n

Then more arrived. And more.<\/p>\n

Then one of them collided with his boat. And it wasn\u2019t fun any more\u2026<\/p>\n
