Maybe but just being playfull I think. We see dolphins doing things
like that all of the time back in SWFL. There's something that
attracts them from a distance - probably prop vibrations or shaft
noise - possibly exhaust noise. We see them seeking us out from far
away with the surfing opportunity just an added bonus after they get
closer.

Could be, Wayne, but it looks to me that if a whale could have flopped
onto the aft, then the boat probably would have gone down.
