Info from Licensor: We spotted multiple humpback whales and thousands of common dolphins. Right as we were about to head into the dock, my best friend Kristin spotted a humpback whale breaching in the distance. Although we knew the whale would probably stop breaching before we got to it, Captain Dave and the rest of our crew went there anyways. The whale stopped breaching but “mugged” our boat. It made several close passes, slapped its pectoral fins on the surface, and hung out next to our boat for about an hour.
