Lo que dicen en Orca Atack Solutions:
ORCAS are now:
- Barbate. They seem to move in the hot areas described since March.
- Between Estepona and Malaga. 6 orcas. We do not know if they are moving the med, or staying in this area.
- SW of Brest, moving slowly to the NW (satellite tagged).
All Iberian orcas seem to interact now.
In all occasions they stay around 80 meters depth as mean, moving between 30 and 180 meters depth feeding on Bluefin tunas. The situation is the same as in spring, but expanded to other areas... it is not out of control.
They do not care about the type of boat, monohulls, colors, time of the day, or if it rains or not. They just look for environmental enrichment, anything to play with. They push at the bottom of the rudder and push until it breaks.
SOLUTIONS:
- Avoid the orcas.
- RUN RUN RUN, (at 4 knots the angle of attack of the orcas will be only 45º, cos (45º)=0,5, then the force they need to break the rudder is double thanif you stay stopped.
- Do not stop. If you stop, the angle is 90º... the cos of (90º) is 1, therefore they have all the power to breake it.
- RUN RUN RUN. After 5 minutes, at 5 knots, they should return where the tunas are.
- Do not stop. If you stop, you stay more than 5 minutes with them,.
- install the system on your rudder that repel them. Pigeon stuff is perfect. They work.
