Distant calls audible.

We heard clear A1 calls on CP. Possibly it was from the A12s. Now we are listening their resting calls on PI hydrophone.

No orcas present.

We believe the whales in the Strait went off to the east. They were last seen around 7pm on the Vancouver Island shore east of CP.

The A12s have left the Beaches and are headed across the Strait to the Cracroft side on their way back to the west.

Orcas approaching Orcalab.

The A12s came up to Cracroft Point and may be headed to Blackney Pass.

It looks like the A12s will keep to the Strait. They are crossing westward past the Blackney entrance to the Hanson shore.

Orcas approaching Orcalab.

The A36 brothers are in Blackney Pass, travelling quickly towards Johnstone Strait on the flooding tide. They are silent, but should be visible from CP in a few minutes.

We've heard no calls since the whales went in for a brief rub about an hour ago. It's possible they continued to the east, though we're not sure. We are waiting.
