I hate to say it, but I vividly remember a video of a poor seal on a massive block of ice, clinging for dear life as a pod of Orcas did the exact same thing to the little iceberg, trying to get an easy meal.
Don’t know how it turned out, but I wonder if the Orcas were hungry, and wanted to check out how the funny looking animals on the iceberg with big cloth sails would taste.
I am happy to go my own way peacefully, but if that happened to me, I’d be looking at trying to smoke every Orca in range before the boat sank and I was in the water with them.
I’m with you. I think they were hungry and trying to sink the boats to get to the people inside. Great White Sharks have been known to do that.
