Yesterday I went Whale Watching from Miches in the Bay of Samana to check how things are going.
Communication is fairly good between the boats and the maximum time of watching (=harassing) the whale(s) is about 20minutes.
There was a mother and her calf and there were 2 boats.
Then a boat named "SPIKS" came way too close and both whales
disappeared. After 10 seconds the mother came out of the water with the intention of hitting "SPIKS" with her tail but missed with 3 feet to spare...2 more attempts were made before she calmed down.
According to the captain these kinds of assholes are there every year to seriously disturb the whales for their own videos and photos. I am happy I don't wear a gun because I would have fired upon them...considering the fact I was a sharpshooter; they were "lucky assholes"!
