Absolutely dangerous and heroic somewhat attempt at freeing the whale as it could accidentally have 'whacked" you with its tail or crashed you against the boat. Congratulations ona well-coordinated team work effort of you and your colleagues on that smae boat. I suppose, though not enough has been written about their ability to interact with human beings, my hunch is that they are really more friendly than the Killer whales or Orca we know and have seen being trained but obviously less frienly than our favourite dolphins.

I enjoyed the clip. thanks.
