    Three orcas attacked the Dutch sailing team JAJO during a leg of the Ocean Race on Thursday. The orcas attacked when the team was just off the Strait of Gibraltar in the leg from The Hague to Genoa. The team was in second place in the Ocean Race when the Orcas attacked and in fourth place once they could get sailing again. A spokesperson for the Ocean Race told Omroep West that, as far as they know, both the orcas and the crew escaped the attack unharmed. Brend Schuil, the on-board reporter aboard Team JAJO, told the broadcaster that the team was prepared for a possible orca attack because it has been known to happen in the area.
