Orcas attack sailing yachts - exclusion zone in northern Spain!

 Orcas attack sailing yachts - exclusion zone in northern Spain! At Cape Finisterre in northwest Spain, repeated attacks by orcas on sailing yachts were reported in recent weeks. Numerous sailboats with broken rudders had to be rescued by the coast guard. Spain has now closed an approximately 100km long coastal zone for all sailing yachts under 50 feet. Biologists suspect that the orcas have no bad intentions: They just 'want to play'! ----- The report.

Corona News - over 800 yachts blocked in the Caribbeans

 Corona News - over 800 yachts blocked in the Caribbeans The Caribbeans offer Europeans and North Americans the best sailing conditions every winter. Now would be the time for the return trip, since the hurricane season will begin there in June. Due to the Corona-restrictions, the recruiting of crews has become difficult, and the usually planned stopovers on the Bermudas and the Azores cannot be carried out either. Those affected try now to organize themselves and start the return journey in larger fleets for safety reasons. An article in the German FAZ newspaper (translate with Google).
