Breaching humpback in the Gastineau Channel

From Sheep Creek I watched a humpback repeatedly breach all the way down to the Douglas boat harbor.  I am trying to give the driver of this boat the benefit of the doubt. I was very far away so perhaps the boat wasn't as close to the whale as it appears. However, this may be an example of how NOT to operate a boat around a breaching humpback whale. The series of photos shows three separate breaches.
