    The orcas have only been going after small sailboats (the kind small enough for a middle-class family to afford, if they own it instead of a house and live aboard full-time). They aren’t the class conscious anti-oligarch crusaders everybody wants them to be.

        I know a couple who both cashed in all their retirement to buy a boat and sail from place to place; their kids are ‘home schooled’ on the boat. they are not rich by any stretch, but they’re living their dream. not my idea of fun but, eh? the husband now just does odd marine jobs to keep their house floating. I respect their desire to live their way.
