Humpback Whale Scratches On Boat

  • August 19th, travelling along the coast of BC in the Lewis Passage between Gil and Fin Islands we spotted a number of humpback whales in the distance; as we got closer, we could see one whale splashing and flipping in the water.
    As the boat slowed, and then stopped, the whale approached. It came alongside the boat and started rubbing it's back on the underside of the boat. For close to an hour it continued to roll, spout, wave it's flippers and enjoy it's encounter with the boat.
    It was a once in a lifetime experience we are happy to share.

    Now this is what should've been recommended to me. Not that whining cringy squeal of a woman video with the one where the whale scrapped off the barnacles. This video is way more calming and its refreshing knowing that you lovely people have a well understanding of the whale and happily enjoyed the experience without all of the hooting and hollering.

      At least she could form a sentence. The bearded monster with her seemed paralyzed and the only thing he could come up with was "OH MY GOD!"
      Her: "I think we should leave."
      Him: "OH MY GOD!"
      Her: "Let's get out of here."
      Him: "OH MY GOD!"
      Her: "He left barnacles on our boat."
      Him: "OH MY GOD!"
      Her: "I think he might have damaged our boat."
      Him: "OH MY GOD!"
      Either his ears, brain, or mouth don't work properly, but he was twice as cringy as the girl.

    Same in South Africa, you may not approach whales. But someone forgot to inform the whales, so they do come up to the boats. If we are fishing, we pull up lines and if we're on anchor we keep a sharp knife handy to cut the anchor rope. But it has also happened that a "baby" whale that was very friendly and curious while the boat was drifting, became very aggressive once the motors were started and the boat got underway. Not fun dodging an angry whale with a boat full of fish.

    Are we even allowed to help them scrape those barnacles? Or we need to be with some one whose expert about it and have permit from the local government?

    Humpbacks are part of the "Rorqual" family which also includes the Blue Whale and the Fin Whale. The most instantly identifiable about them are their throat grooves which make their mouths expand ten fold.
    Humpbacks, being the friendly, approachable creatures they are had the misfortune to become prime prey for whalers after the harpoon cannon with exploding harpoon was invented in the late 1800's, to give you a very sobering statistic, not nearly 20 years after its invention 90% of all the humpbacks were wiped out.
    There's a movie about Whaling shot in the fifties where Humpbacks are seen approaching the factory ship and the narrator says "It would appear they are mocking us since they are of a species which is outlawed, we cannot shoot them according to international law."
    So the fact that they're still around is a miracle.

    I had this strong urge to pick those barnacles off the whale and I don't know why. I had the same problem whenever my cats came back from their outdoor venture with ticks too.

      You'd jump in there with a whale that could easily kill you unintentionally or intentionally and your worry is if the water was cold? lol.
