What will you do with an angry Orca, because you have come into their territory? They may consider you a threat!.....i2f

Boasun, Hi, I think if you painted the bottom of your boat to look like a squid, a sperm whale will have you for lunch. If you paint your bottom to resemble an orca, you will obviously look like a sick orca and you would be fair game for every predator at sea and there are some woppers out there looking for anything to eat. I like your idea.

I've heard they're more attracted to white as a hull colour, and more deterred by darker colours. Can anyone back this up with actual facts?

Put this on your hull: 帆船

It's Japanese for sailboat, I think.

JEEZ BENE!! I speak Japanese. I'm not going to flag your post - but mods, you really should pull that down. It's an extremely offensive term for...well...I can't say it.

BTW - I just painted my hull to look like Steve Buscemi. No living creature of any kind ever comes close.

And hopefully soon Steve - we're on the list for a slip at Bridge Harbor/Freeport - harbor master thinks something may come up later this fall. Good time to bring the boat up from Corpus.

Very cool, John! I'd love to help you out on that move if you have the room. Just let me know when!

I did a search for that Japanese ******, and I couldn't find anything offensive. What do you think it means?

Colors wont matter, Orcas are curious by nature, you either attract their attention or you don't.
