I don’t think that they eat people. I might be wrong. They are the apex predator of the sea, so who knows? 

I've been following this for a couple of years now. They have been biting rudders on sailing vessels for a while now. Several theories but no one really knows why they are doing it. It started with a pod of juveniles leading to the theory that it was like the orca version of teenage rebel behavior.  Other thought it was a revenge instinct cause by a local fishing vessel shooting and killing an Orca. No one really knows why. This is getting dangerous for small sailing vessels that are transiting the area.

At present there is no known Orca attack on a human in the wild. Known being the operative word.

Cold, fresh water fan I am.

Not much wants to eat you.

Blue gills will bite! Scares the crap out of you when you're just peacefully floating having a cocktail.  A couple years ago one bit my nipple and didn't let go for the longest 2 seconds ever!

Payback I suppose.

I've nibbled on some whale nipples myself, after a few too many cocktails.

After a few cocktails Sludgy hangs his doodle in the water for the blue gills to nibble. Weird.

Yep, I'd call that justified.
