In this video we’re sailing upwind in 30+ knots of breeze in Johnstone Strait during the VanIsle360 race with a double-reefed main sail and #3 jib. Lots of sails were destroyed in that leg, including the #3 jib we’re flying in the video.

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

We finally get hold and jump in our tender Rocco while the other single hands SV Panda, our 1980 Amel Sharki ketch rigged sailing machine. We purposefully reefed down quite a bit just to keep boat speeds down in the 18kts of wind. Amazing how shallow the Bahamas are! 📺BINGE Watch our Journey📺 https://youtu.be/w58uZsntFa0 📣UPDATES on the Socials📣 Instagram https://www.instagram.com/sailingpanda Facebook https://www.facebook.com/SailingSVPanda ⛵MORE about PANDA BOAT⛵ https://youtu.be/aq52YgzuIbI 🐼SUBSCRIBE for FREE 🐼 https://www.youtube.com/c/SailingPanda 🍺SUPPORT our Journey🍺 (One Time Contribution) https://paypal.me/DarrenSeltzer 📸OUR Gear📸 Sony 6400 https://amzn.to/2TvFDNi GoPro 8 https://amzn.to/2Jd39wM DJI Osmo https://amzn.to/31K2mJV DJI Mavic Mini https://amzn.to/3kAigyb Headphones Jabra Elite https://amzn.to/3mqB4Am Recording Mic https://amzn.to/2Tuxzwm Camera Mic https://amzn.to/3kAm3vn 🤗OUR Partners🤝 UKSailmakers: https://www.uksailmakers.com BattleBorn Batteries https://battlebornbatteries.com 📧Contact US!📧 Email and say Hello anytime!
