Only a female would say this.
Maybe one was angry you forgot her birthday? Perhaps you should invite them over for a nice chat over tea and seal blubber.
I’ve been reading “The Worst Journey in the World, with Scott in Antarctica 1910-1913” Cherry-Garrard, Dover. He describes what he calls “killer whales” trying to jump up on the edge of the ice to attack penguins and people close to the water.
They hit a sleeping killer whale. Killer whales got pissed
She should have yielded.
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.
They converted to islam.
Just like with kids seeing violence on TV and in movies and then going out and committing that same violence, so too when a group of Oraca friends goes out and sees a movie like Jaws or Hunt for Red October ... I mean what do you expect? These adorable and impressionable little sea beings are just doing what they think is cool. Probably Sharknado should be banned from Seaters entirely.
I had no cable back then.
It was on TV.
So I watched it.
:D
The boats are trespassing
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.
Well...because black lives matter. I should think.
We’re seeing the early efforts of OLM (Orca Lives Matter).
The Orcas and, eventually, their idiot allies in the fish food community are “peacefully protesting” to support the activities of violent, murderous and rapacious Orcas in their community.
Maybe their old name, killer whales might be a clue. I worked on an albacore boat one summer and our boss would not let us on deck if he saw a killer whale’s fin. Ramming is how they attack whales. They keep at it until the whale opens his mouth, then they eat its tongue. They are not as cute and cuddly as some think.
Orcas are highly intelligent and successful predators which take down great white sharks and the largest whales. Surely it’s not that shocking when they get curious about what people taste like?
God, am I carbon-dating myself.
Note to self - if buying a sailboat, install a metal conduction bar along the keel, install another conductor along the waterline, and then wire it to a 20,000 watt generator for emergencies.
A friendly way of saying, get away from my boat.
Ditto that! And when cable first became available, Friday night all night at the movies on the TBS (maybe TNT) channel.
Killer whales unihemispherically sleep. One side of the brain sleeps, the other stays awake to breath and keep one eye open.
The sailboat makes very little noise through the water.
They hit a sleeping orca. The orcas got pissed.
Need bigger boats!
They saw the 1977 movie “Orca” with Richard Harris, and Bo Derek.
