The orcas assault once more: they injury a ship that was going to Mallorca to take part within the Copa del Rey de vela

As indicated by the group of the Copa del Rey, this new incident, which joins the one suffered by one other registered boat, the ‘Corsario’, on December 12 off Barbate (Cádiz), occurred “already throughout the Mediterranean, off Estepona”, but it surely solely induced materials injury since “the crew of Ignacio González Camacho’s boat are secure and with out private harm”.

“They have entered the Estepona Marina at night time towed by Salvamento Marítimo since they didn’t have management of the ship and they’ll assess injury all through the day to see if they will attain the Copa del Rey,” they added.

According to Santi Villagran, a crew member of the ‘Kapote Tercero’, there have been “three or 4 orcas” that “bited and went from one facet to the opposite”, “I did not assume they had been going to assault us as a result of we had already handed the world. They would come and go away after two minutes, however then they might come once more, I feel it lasted 5 or ten minutes.”

He careworn that “the primary ‘blow'” of the cetacean was the one which destroyed the rudder and that the ship was blocked “already at night time”. “We needed to name Maritime Rescue to choose us up as a result of we had been going to the stones,” he added, wishing they might put “fiber” on the piece and be capable of sail once more.
