The last one went down early this month after the yacht was pounded for 45 minutes.
Who wants to go sailing?

Willy was flown back to Iceland on board a C-17 some 20 years ago ? Died a couple years later.
I met the Pilot years later who flew it and landed so hard he broke the right side landing gear and the structure I put together. I knew it when I saw video. It's Gov so not on youtube.

Rumor has it those killers were trained by the Orcs to destroy rudder systems. They escaped and unfortunately they are now attacking non military ships. Fuck those Orcs

Very cool videos which leads to a couple of questions.

Act of God, no insurance?
Or, is it written in the policy, "in the case your boat gets attacked by Orcas, we pay in full?"

Number 2
If Gloomy had been there, all woke and eco and shit.
Would he have dived in and told Shamu in Orcanese, of course, to cut the bullshit?

Goebbels the subtext of every blog you post is a flashing neon billboard that always reads the same.

I do not have a single friend in this world.

But keeping blogging anyway. Your loneliness provides endless hours of free laughter for those of us with a purpose in life.

Orcas?

A sperm whale is what sank the Pequod and killed captain Ahab.

I was there. I am a sailor.

A sperm whale always has the best remedy to the problem.

I’ve been following these stories for a couple years now. I have friend the was doing a delivery of a boat from France to the BVI, while out about 1500 miles they hit a whale not sure which kind but it bent the rudder post and water was flooding in from the packing. They managed to make it to their destination by using every pump on board as bilge pumps to keep the water at bay. A lesson I learned from him was to keep wax toilet rings onboard to pack into areas where there is water intrusion. However if a Orca rips off your rudder the boats going to sink.

Still wondering about the insurance angle.
Boat sunk by Orcas means SOL for the owner or is it a valid claim.
Anybody?
