Mike Fox 1,901 Report post Posted November 15, 2020 I remember reading about this in September, and wondered if it will keep going, and be excluded from insurance cover. We've extended our cruising insurance as far as La Corunna for the last couple of years, hoping to get that far south, but I suspect we won't next year. We got to within 140 miles or so from Spain in 2018, but were stopped by gales. Rob, a 5 tonne killing machine, 2m underwater, is unlikely to be bothered much by a boat hook. I suspect that if you really managed to annoy them, they might not be quite so gentle.... 1 1 Stuie and Tiddler reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Death Trap II 121 Report post Posted November 16, 2020 this isn't a new thing. boats have been sunk by killer whales. https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20200108-how-to-survive-being-shipwrecked-by-whales i would suggest carrying depth charges. Because if nature documentaries have taught me one thing, its that killer whales are dicks. 4 Stuie, Tiddler, fisherman1055 and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
