Why do people think this is cool? This is akin to feeding a bear or petting a tiger, it’s fucking stupid. As someone who has spent an extensive amount of time offshore in small boats I can assure you this is a quite dangerous practice. A whale swam under my boat once. Scared the absolute living shit out of me. If that whale, decides it has ill intentions, or maybe it’s just being playful or even a simple mistake. Your whole boat gets tossed into the water miles from shore with no one around to save you. It’s not majestic it’s moronic.
