Really!
We were in the other boat, when we got an excited radio call to come join the first one because something amazing was happening. We scooted over and saw a whale near the surface and very close to the first boat.
The boss man, Gene Flipse, called us into the water. After getting a look at the situation, I flippered over and asked Gene what was up.
He very matter of factly replied "The female is ready to mate and she's taken quite a shine to our boat".
She just kept circling and circling the boats (by this time we'd tied them together), or passing underneath them. Sometimes right side up, sometimes, upside down. This lasted for about 90 minutes.
The whole time, there was a very interested male whale waiting patiently for our girl to come to her senses, and they finally did leave together.
Here are a couple shots from that experience:
