Sailing through orca territory isnтАЩt 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: ЁЯУНWe monitor:тАв GT Orcas App тАУ To stay updated about interactions, sightings and risk mapping. тАв www.orcas.pt тАУ MMSI verified fellow sailors for live-updates. тАв Telegram groups тАУ Live updates from fellow sailors. тАв Orca Facebook groups - to stay updated. тАв 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 didnтАЩt get the position, name of the vessel etc. тЪая╕ПOur precautions:тАв We have chosen to only sail in daylight тАУ 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. тАв 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. тАв We carry a duffel bag full of sand on deckтАУ The most humane way to try and deter orcas, should they approach the rudder. тАв We maintain constant lookout тАУ For tall dorsal fins, but also for coastal fishing gear when close to shore. тАв We talk through roles and action plans - so everyone onboard knows what to do in case of an emergency. ЁЯЪиOur 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 weтАЩve chosen to handle the situation, not a detailed AтАУZ guide on how you should proceed. Always make sure to research the specific area youтАЩre sailing in. Stay safe. #orca #sailing #shortoftheday #circumnavigation
Ich pr├дsentiere euch die Vorz├╝ge dieses Elektrowerkzeug f├╝r Bohr- und Schraubarbeiten auf dem Boot. Dieser "Power Tools"-Akkuschrauber ist ideal f├╝r verschiedene Anwendungen, da er ├╝ber ein Schnellspannbohrfutter und ein Zweiganggetriebe verf├╝gt. Au├Яerdem gibt es einen kleinen Werkzeug Test dazu.
