Yacht evokes images of sail ships but those billionaire yachts are more like ferries. I don't think the orcas can take them out (unless you supply the c4).

NGL, if orcas can deploy c4, I feel it'd only be neighborly to figure out how to supply it.

I mean, sheeyit. We gotta step it up as a fuckin' species if they're out there, more than capable of planting high-tech explosive devices invented by self-important monkey-cousins who generally can't even swim. ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜ถ
