Description

One of the coolest experiences I've had with a Humpback. This individual approached our boat, which forced us to turn off the motor. It decided to spend the next half hour or so rubbing itself on the hull of the boat, presumably to remove ectoparasites or something. People got repeatedly doused in smelly whale snot.
