Beware of ORCAS! Part 2: Sailing SOUTH through Orca Territory to Portugal | Ep 276

This time on Distant Shores we head south through Orca territory keeping alert and close to shore for safety, then sailing further offshore for the nights. It's 350 miles of dangerous waters until we reach Cascais - near Lisbon. From there we head offshore to safer waters bound for the Canary Islands. #orcaattacks #sailingsouth #gnespace 00:00 Introduction and episode summary 00:40 Previously on Distant Shores... 01:12 Big swell sailing south from La Coruña, Spain 02:08 Report of orcas nearby!
