The whale saying "Thank You" is a pretty anthropomorphic interpretation of the behavior. Lobtailing is generally understood as a warning or a sign of aggression. Breaching can be a form of courtship or a warning signal, but it is also used to dislodge foreign objects or parasites from the skin, which makes sense in this scenario.
What ever, they did a great thing and will remember it for the rest of their lives.

Thanks for sharing this story in the midst of all tragedies that unfold on the news, hope to humanity and the human race at least partially restored

At last a video that doesn't involve a skateboard.
#2 No one can claim to know what the display by this whale was saying Captain Kirk delicious, not even you. You would need to be a whale and be tied up for weeks in nylon netting neither of which you can qualify for (except possibly the nylon netting part as we don't know what you are actually into). Life isn't all scientific fact and we don't know anything like everything.
