Good morning everyone! After circumnavigating Hanson Island during the night, the A12s & A5s are now back in Blackfish Sound, heading "out" on the swiftly ebbing tide.

Boat noise

We have been following the reports from the whale watch boats through morning and afternoon. The A12s and perhaps the A5s continued west for quite a while. However, they turned at 12:30pm between Black Bluff and Bere Point and are now re-approaching Lizard Point.

No calls but orcas nearby

The A12s have come bqack into the Strait via Weynton Pass and they are now eastbound just off the Hanson Island shore. There may have been a few distant calls.

The A12s moved closer to the Vancouver Island shore from mid strait. It will be difficult to see them in the afternoon nhaze but there are dalls porpoise nearer to CP.

Just an added note to the last report. Apparently when the whales were off the CP area there were a few A5 type calls as well. This most likely means that the A8s stayed with the A12s for the whole day.

Sounds like the whales have been turned to the east. We are listening to the A12s again on CRPT hydrophone.
