Shit!
The orcas attacked and disabled a boat really close to where we are two days ago. They were also seen in the western English Channel at a point where we sailed right by them.
We didn't know. I thought they were still near Lisbon.
They have NEVER been this far north this early before. I thought we had until September.
Planning tomorrow's passage. Going to stay in shallow waters as much as we can. Actually quite frightened.

Scared the living shit out of me until I realised they were just dolphins.
Dear god, I'm too old for this crap. Staying inshore as much as possible. I do not want to be embracing the life raft experience today.
