Sailing through orca territory isn’t something we take lightly and while preparing this post for you guys, we heard another sailboat calling for help on the radio..How we stay informed and reduce the risk as much as possible: 📍We monitor:• GT Orcas App – To stay updated about interactions, sightings and risk mapping. • www.orcas.pt – MMSI verified fellow sailors for live-updates. • Telegram groups – Live updates from fellow sailors. • Orca Facebook groups - to stay updated. • We listen to channel 16 (as always) and when we here something related to a orca situation we start recording the conversation so we can go back and listen to it again ex. if we didn’t get the position, name of the vessel etc. ⚠️Our precautions:• We have chosen to only sail in daylight – Which sometimes means early mornings to do a long leg. If something were to happen, we rather want to handle it in full visibility than in the dark. • We have chosen to stay in shallow water - inside the 20m depth counter when possible, but still keeping a safe distance from breaking waves and shallow hazards. • We carry a duffel bag full of sand on deck– The most humane way to try and deter orcas, should they approach the rudder. • We maintain constant lookout – For tall dorsal fins, but also for coastal fishing gear when close to shore. • We talk through roles and action plans - so everyone onboard knows what to do in case of an emergency. 🚨Our procedure in case of an orca interaction: 1: Engine on, max speed, turn boat towards shallows and/or land. 2: One person in charge of throwing sand in the water to hopefully prevent the orcas from damaging the rudder. 3: One person in charge of flipping the swimmingladder down in the water and banging it with a hammer to make loud noises in the water to deter the orcas. 4: Other important things is to issue a Pan-Pan call on the vhf, continuous lookout and video documentation of the interaction. N.B that this is simply the way we’ve chosen to handle the situation, not a detailed A–Z guide on how you should proceed. Always make sure to research the specific area you’re sailing in. Stay safe. #orca #sailing #shortoftheday #circumnavigation

Velejar é uma experiência empolgante, combinando os elementos do vento, água e navegação habilidosa. Aproveitando o poder do vento, os velejadores deslizam pelas ondas cintilantes, guiados pela arte de direção e controle das velas. A atmosfera serena do mar aberto, o carinho suave da brisa e a dança rítmica do barco criam uma sensação de liberdade e harmonia com a natureza. Enquanto a embarcação corta graciosamente a água, a tripulação deve trabalhar em equipe, empregando trabalho em equipe, adaptabilidade e um profundo entendimento das condições sempre mutáveis. Velejar oferece uma combinação única de aventura, tranquilidade e domínio, onde se pode explorar a vasta extensão azul, abraçar a emoção da jornada e descobrir uma conexão profunda com os elementos. Sailing is an exhilarating experience, combining the elements of wind, water, and skillful navigation. Harnessing the power of the wind, sailors glide across the shimmering waves, guided by the art of steering and controlling the sails. The serene ambiance of the open sea, the gentle caress of the breeze, and the rhythmic dance of the boat create a sense of freedom and harmony with nature. As the vessel gracefully cuts through the water, the crew must work together, employing teamwork, adaptability, and a deep understanding of the ever-changing conditions. Sailing offers a unique blend of adventure, tranquility, and mastery, where one can explore the vast blue expanse, embrace the thrill of the journey, and discover a deep connection with the elements.
