Siamo ormeggiati qui da un po’ di giorni. Questo tempo sta tirandola davvero per le lunghe. Oggi scade la prenotazione del posto barca, così molliamo tutte le cime che hanno saldamente tenuto Julia lontana dal pontile sotto vento a lei e riponiamo tutto l’arsenale di parabordi tirato fuori per l’evenienza. Prima di disormeggiare, però, passiamo al paese dei balocchi: prendiamo un nuovo filtro del gasolio (dopo aver visto le condizioni del prefiltro meglio cambiare anche lui), un faro di profondità (il nostro ci ha abbandonati) e un imbuto per la tanica di benzina. Torniamo a bordo, molliamo gli ormeggi e ci mettiamo in rada sempre nella laguna di Simpson bay. Bisogna aspettare le 8:30 di domattina per l’apertura del ponte. Prepariamo la barca dentro e fuori per il lungo viaggio e andiamo a fare refill di benzina per generatore e gommone. Tutto è pronto. Julia è pronta. Noi ci prepariamo con un lungo sonno ristoratore! Ci leggiamo domani! Andrea
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
