Video shows four friends paddling a canoe off the coast of Maui, Hawaii, when a humpback whale came out of nowhere and lifted the front end of the boat. Norah O'Donnell reports.
 @Mr. H We were just whale watching off the coast of the Big Island last month and had one playing with the catamaran. He'd surface on one side, then switch to the other, and would even surface under the center of the boat, spouting through the ladder. It was incredible to see and something I'll never forget. But have to say, in the back of my head I was thinking, "what happens if he hits/tips the boat?" It would never happen, but when you're in the presence of something that big and powerful, you are really at their mercy.
That would have been so cool to see... still probably would have peed myself..LOL
