SV Pantera vs Orca attack on the Gibraltar Strait!!!! 😵🌊⛵🌊

Arrived in la linea de la conception had an awful 5 months of hell then we broke free and escaped the meditaranean Sea to join the Atlantic ocean with risk of Piracy & Orca attacks on ships. We had been well prepared for the situation and dealt with the following problems that arose that day with precision. We got attacked just outside tarifa by 4 orcas on the 16/4/2021 but they are known for attacking boats all up the African, Spanish & Portuguese coasts. 🌊🌊🌊⛵🌊🌊🌊🤘🏿
Order of things we did was kill the engine, kill electrics and any other gadgets you have on board, reduce the gib sheet quarter of its size as to still have steering and slight control of movement, throw paper overboard as a distraction for the orcas, counter the steering by centering it to reduce the risk of braking the rudders and connection points, remain calm and quiet and I eventually turned the radio off as it was a bad idea to radio through due to the noise/frequency it produces plus I couldn't understand a word.
