On Wednesday 12 July 2023 we had another windless day in the ocean which allowed us to prepare for orca attacks. Here’s what Al came up with.

I think that's why they may be attacking your boat. The don't want to hurt you, they just don't want you to talk on the PA or sing. It's a known fact that they like the Roger Whittiker song, The last Farewell. Or anything by Christopher Cross. Thank you. -The Orca

Well that explains the sudden appearance of so many Orca pods around the British coastline, think I wont bother sailing the western med this year. And I though I was tuneless, you sir have me beat , my hat is off to you.I was thinking of doing something similar but different using recordings of women singers with beautiful Ethereal tones.never occurred to me to pull a Panama on them.

Yesterday I discussed this issue with a brother of mine who is an experienced fisherman and he told me that, based in his experience with dolphins, the first thing to do is to turn off the depth sounder, it seems that they perceive the ultrasound ping as a threat and start escorting the boat as a territorial defence action, not for playing as his commonly understood. If that don't work try to fire some relatively powerfull laser into de water, almost certainly it will scared them (obviously, with such big and dangerous animals beware of unpredictable reactions). Hope it helps.

I asked about this last year. I bet online somewhere there are orca noises, there might be a noise they make for danger or to avoid...play that sound, lmk what happens.
@atlantical110 ай бұрын
Yes, a scientist who specialises in orcas said that the sound of a pilot whale is what they run away from. So that’s the official advice. We thought that feedback from a microphone would be very unpleasant to any living creature and that’s what we’ll use if we encounter them. And we will try our singing too 😀. What sounds do you think would repel them?
@masewoods833710 ай бұрын
@@atlantical1 I have no idea. I know they study whales and they have "language", seems reasonable some researcher would have a recording of their "danger" noise. It almost looks like the are using the rudders as a scratching post like a cat sometimes.

Absolutely agree with you, yeah that’s exactly what we thought that they need to scratch off parasites and we thought to scrub their backs with a brush 😄. Here’s the video of the scientist Philippe who I contacted in comments. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i5mlZLmcuci7pKs.html

Cockpit karaoke. Fair dues. Had similar idea with a submarine speaker. Just a warning to note Patrick Laine and the sailing Frenchman (Hugh Picard) had a piece of music that seemed to lure dolphins and whales to their boats some artist beginning with an R if memory serves just check before playing that.
