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.

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.
