“I’ve seen a few videos of orcas in that part of the sea attacking sail boats. It’s strange behaviour for orcas. I wonder if there is a pod there that has a vendetta against sailboats. Who knows - but so bizarre,” posted an Instagram user. “What is happening,” joined another. “I wonder if they are trying to tell mankind something?” added a third. “They are Orcas. They are quite brilliant and will do what it takes. Surely they were seen before this. Watch out,” wrote a fourth. A few reacted using emoticons.
