You thought you had a weird week?  Check out this guy’s story.

He was out in his boat near Seward, AK when a Humpback Whale attempted to breach, but hit his boat hard.   He flew out and ended up in the water standing on the whale!  Only in Alaska.

His boat ended up with a bit hole in it and started to sink.  He and his companions were rescued by another boat nearby.

Absolutely wild…
