Yrs. back, a sailboater off Baja, reported a whale, Humpback
I think, approached his boat, it obviously thinking
the bottom of the boat was another whale, humorous at
first, but after some
12 hrs. of wrangling, turning the boat 180 a few times,
the suitor gave up and swam off

No big deal!
Upon edit:
The below is not what I wanted to send. You must cut and paste the entire video, not just the part in blue.

Collisions are not uncommon. But Sn Ignacio seems to generate fewer reports. The panga I was riding in got slapped hard and went sideways several
feet. It tore a chunk out of the gunnel about two feet long and 6" wide. The cap'n smacked his head on the motor and got knocked out cold. Lucky me I
was way up in the bow. It ain't knotts berry farm. But when a mama pushes her newborn over to be petted the scales tip back the other way.

This was no Ballena Gris in a bay; this was definitely a humpie on what looks like open waters, and he wuz doin' The Nasty to the boat; good thing he
didn't punch a hole in the bottom: then you'd really see Mobey's Dick!!!

Peeza Cake!
Dangle a pair of floats over the transom and find out which way he swings.

If that happed in Cali the captain and boat would be in big trouble for being too close to whales . San Diego just closed a beach to protect seals
that are not endangered

Much nicer humpback
This video shows a whale being much better behaved:

Just leave the whale alone, someone eventually will get killed then maybe they will give the whales the space they deserve
