Broken Rudders, Sunken Boats: The Orcas Are Winning | Sailing Truth Show
Orcas have been ramming rudders and sinking sailboats off Spain, Portugal, and Gibraltar — and tonight we roll the tape. This is a Captain's Breakdown: I pause the footage, judge the crew's decisions in real time, and give the verdict — seamanship, panic, or pure luck. Then I'll tell you exactly how I'd transit the Strait of Gibraltar today, orcas and all.
The ocean doesn't care about theory. It cares about execution.
