We’ve just crossed the Atlantic — but the next leg might be even more dangerous. Between Cádiz and Gibraltar, orca whales have been attacking sailboats… and we’re heading straight through their territory. Our plan: stay close to shore, dodge fishing nets, and hope the orcas don’t find us. Then we’ll face the Strait of Gibraltar — one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world — where massive tankers and ferries surround our tiny sailboat. Sail with us as we navigate the gateway to the Mediterranean and continue our voyage toward Dubai. The journey has only just begun 🌊⚓️ #Sailing #SailingAdventure #StraitOfGibraltar #OrcaAttacks #SailingLife #SailingVlog #YachtLife #OceanAdventure #SailboatJourney#AtlanticCrossing #MediterraneanSailing #SailingToDubai #BluewaterSailing #AdventureSailing #SailWithUs #SailingCommunity #SailingYouTube #LiveaboardLife#bumsonaboat
