Atlantic Iberian Peninsula
As the cruising season arrives along the Atlantic coasts of France, Portugal, Spain and through the Straits of Gibraltar, the Cruising Association (CA) is urging sailors to be vigilant for potential Orca encounters. They have published an alert to help guide skippers.
Noonsite also continues to collaborate with the CA on a series of articles which started in January guiding skippers on how to best-prepare for a passage around the Atlantic Iberian Peninsula ("Orca Alley") and what you can do to help those following in your wake. Part 3 has just been published covering how to deal with an orca encounter at sea, parts 1 and 2 previously covering pre-departure planning and FAQs. Next month is the final instalment in the series looking at the outlook for the 2024 series.
