Otter Jumps Onto Boat Escaping Orca With Seconds To Spare
Good thing he didn't need a bigger boat.
Otter Jumps Onto Boat Escaping Orca With Seconds To Spare
What you didn't see after the video ends is that the orca bumped the boat and John fell into the water where he was eaten.
The otter put the boat into gear and high-tailed it out of there. The positive that came out of it was the otter opened Animals for the Ethical Treatment of People (I'm sure you've heard of it), which has been rescuing humans from the jaws of sea creatures ever since.

Alaskan Glacier calving Columbia w/ 200 foot high shooter
Glaciers that end in seas calve regardless of the effects of global warming. That is just what happens when they meet sea water.
The entertainment is mostly the result of the boats not being at a particularly safe distance. People enjoy doing something stupid and surviving.
Also big moving things awe us. I would definitely be entertained seeing this from up close. Could not help myself.
My take from this is that "holy shit" is slightly more entertainment than "oh my god". Amused to death.
Am I the only one disturbed and concerned by the underlying cause of the calving than repeatedly yelling "Oh my God woohoo!" like I'm watching a blockbuster disaster CGI movie? It's not "entertaining"...
And reading up Glacier calving on wikipedia, the boats not even at a particularly safe distance?

You got a hot pink stretch duck boat with a 57 Chevy body on top? Also should have extended sun roof....for casting.
Ouuu! *scribble scribble* Like your style. Choice of options? *wets point of pencil on tongue*
An actual smoke screen (smoke curtain)
Would have been laid by a fleet's float planes or limited basic carrier aircraft (like---very basic, pre WW II) to mask your own ships under scenarios such as 1) A turn away from an enemy fleet that had concentrated its salvoed big gun fire successfully against you, perhaps by crossing your "T" (1/2 your guns agains all of his--run away!) or 2) to mask the approach of your surface torpedo carriers, the destroyers and destroyer escorts, to close as fast as possible on the enemy's battle line before popping through the curtain and firing some of their torpedoes before popping back into cover and moving to another location and then firing more torpedoes (torpedoes were the ship killers of the small ships of the fleet and the only thing battleships had to fear from destroyers and destroyer escorts/torpedo boats)
Would be curious to know what this was generally used for and if it was used often.
Dolphins swim in bioluminescent waves in Newport Beach
I think I might have seen this myself.
I was sailing in a race half way around Ireland (Dun laoghire to Dingle), which takes 2-3 days. We were coming into Dingle at about 4am with hardly any wind, and heavy wind the previous evening had got me out of bed early.
There's a famous dolphin in Dingle, and I distinctly remember a glowing green dolphin shape appearing a few times, swimming along with the boat. However, in the state we were in, our reactions and motivation were so low that I never managed to call it out to the others in time.
So either I was the only one to see the glowing green outline of an otherwise invisible dolphin, or I was enjoying a pleasant side-effect of sleep deprivation. Either way it was really really cool.
Cooking on Rough Seas
If we talk about an 80 ft. steel hull scallop boat, the cook has it fairly easy. When a cook opens a container in the kitchen he knows what is going to come out. When you open the scallop nets anything can come rushing out at you. Sometimes with BIG SHARP POINTY teeth or spines!
I sail tall ships, and this is 100% accurate. I think the cook has the hardest job on the ship.
Sailing The Sea Of Stones
6" of the gelcoat on that boat is gone...
Never tell a rich plane buyer that the plane can't stall
I was thinking: what if you were (thinking you were safe) sunbathing on the deck of the second speed boat when the debris suddenly scattered across your body and deck?
Can't tell from here if it was direct hit or if anyone was aboard; I assumed those boats were tied up at buoys and empty but...I have no particular reason for thinking that other than the number of injured reported only included the aircraft.
Takes off lazily and diagonally across the wind, turns long after it's obviously not gaining altitude, and hits obvious obstructions.
I, for one, am glad this pilot won't be flying at any lake near me.
Shark Swallowed Whole during Deep-Sea Feeding Frenzy
