For a few years now, a group of orcas has been attacking yachts along the Atlantic coasts of the Iberian Peninsula, especially in the waters of the Strait of Gibraltar. There have been dozens of attacks recorded and they are already sinking several boats. The last one was last October. from the yacht grasi mama.

This yacht was sailing through the strait when it was attacked for 45 minutes by a group of orcas. Tugboats from the port of Tangier and the Moroccan navy came to its rescue, but they could not prevent the boat from sinking a little before reaching the entrance of the port, it was not a small boat, it was about 13 m long and 4.24 m wide, with four double cabins and two bathrooms with showers.

Orcas have a fixation on the rudder of boats, they hit it. They bite it and can tear it off and cause holes in the hull of the boat through which the water enters, which ultimately ends up sinking the boat. The orcas form family clans and according to some researchers the attacks were initiated by a pack of gallows led by a female that scientists call Gladis Blanca.

Researchers suspect that this female, who is a kind of matriarch within the Clan, possibly had to suffer an accident because she collided with a boat and since then she and her clan have started a war of revenge against the yachts. It must be clarified that the orcas do not They have attacked none of the humans who were on the yachts. It seems that their hatred is only for the boats. In any case, it is recommended that in case of an attack you do not try to get close to them, much less jump into the water.

The sinking does not occur suddenly, it takes time to occur, what is advised by the authorities is that as soon as you see gallows you move away from them as quickly as possible, if you are attacked then notify the authorities and they may take some curious measure like in this news.

Included in this story of the orcas is a German, Florian Rutsch, who lives by offering tourist trips on his catamaran. It occurred to him to repel the attacks of the orcas using underwater speakers that play heavy metal music. You have to imagine for a moment a sailboat in the night Orcas seeking revenge and a counterattack with Hero Maiden or metallic music, the result was the complete opposite of what was sought, a bad idea from the German.
