July 2, 2015: Earlier in the day this whale visited two other large whale watching boats. She (we're guessing) made one close pass by our boat, caught by Captain Kate Spencer on underwater GoPro, and then came back for this extended encounter.

We were careful not to touch the whale with hands or cameras, and did not restart engines until she swam away to rejoin her buddy. Friendly encounters like this are very special and don't happen every day. This was the first time a whale has gotten this friendly with the Fast Raft in its second year of whale watching but Capt. Spencer has seen this happen many times over the years with various boats. It is illegal in the U.S. to attempt to swim with whales or to harass them. The whale was in control of this encounter from start to finish, and was impressively careful and gentle near our boat.
