'My first reaction was, 'Please! Not again.''
Having been menaced by the same orca pod twice now, the captain has a unique look into their trajectory as they continue their anti-yacht campaign in the Strait of Gibraltar — and he has ideas about what's going on with them.
"First time, we could hear them communicating under the boat," he described. "This time, they were quiet, and it didn't take them that long to destroy both rudders." "After about 15 minutes, they left." Kriz said. "Suddenly, one big adult orca started chasing us. In a couple of minutes, she was under the boat, and that was when we realized there was still a little piece of fiberglass left and she wanted to finish the job. After that, we didn't see them anymore."
Indeed, that adult female is at the heart of many theories about these orcas that have captivated headlines in recent months., some people believe that she is seeking revenge from being injured by boat rudders in the past — a belief that is leading some captains and crews to arm themselves against the unruly cetaceans.
In spite of being attacked by them twice and saying that he thinks the orcas know "exactly what they were doing" because they "didn't touch anything else" aside from the rudders, however, Kriz is not among those who think the orcas need to be shot or harmed in any way.
