<p>David Mulder captured video of the moment a whale collided with a whale watching tour boat as it sailed off Brier Island in Nova Scotia on September 2.</p><p>Mulder and eight other passengers on the inflatable boat were caught by surprise by the humpback whale’s sudden appearance. The captain of the boat, Guy Melville, told Global News</a> it had been a quiet day on the water. The Canadien Fisheries Department’s</a> regulations require people and vessels to maintain a minimum distance of 330 feet from most whales and dolphins.</p><p>The encounter only lasted a few moments while the boat was stationary with its motor turned off.
