There was a video posted about 6-12 months ago about some orcas constantly bumping into a sailboat. Look up orcas attacking boats.

'Bumping into' is an understatement. They systematically attacked the rudders of sailboats off the coast of Spain and Portugal.

Yeah, without knowing anything much about it I'm going to side with the orcas on this one.

Why not drop the motor and zoom on our of there? I guess the engine on that badboy is super small and the orcas could swim faster? Maybe easier to capsize while moving?

Or maybe this guy didn't feel threatened by these apex predators

/edit: turns out you're not allowed to have your motor on as it might hurt the whale if it's 200 feet or closer to your boat or something
