    Fookin ‘ell, that woman! “Oh my gaaddd it’s the mother!” lol, I had to mute it…

    Awesome footage though! I’d be pretty nervous that something so huge would knock over my tiny boat…

  2. I kept waiting for it to bite one of them by the rm and drag them to their watery death…

    A beautiful event, but people really ought to be taught, prior to sailing out, how to behave. Shreaks and loud behaviour are stressful to a wild creature of any kind – let alone to creatures that live in a generally quiet environment. Such encounters would be much more meaningful if gentle, peaceful communication were encouraged between the species.

    Awesomeness! Though I agree with the others…that lady’s voice was uber annoying.

    This will be described by all of them, for the rest of their lives, as the best day ever.

    First of all, I would have been wetting my pants and crying. They’re so big!! I would have images of them flipping my boat then dragging me to my death! But that’s just me. Secondly, why does the one guy keep stirring the water with his hand toward the end? Does that entice the whale or calm it or something?

    The excited woman reminds me of Stewart’s mom on Mad TV….hilarious!

    How did those guys not push that annoying creature into the water. Ya…..I’m talking to you…..god your annoying! Your poor husband!
