No orcas present.

As far as we know , it has been uneventful since we last heard the A5s disappear to the east in Johnstone Strait. So much time has gone by we wonder if they returned and left without us being aware of their movements. Meanwhile, the weather has been mixed & mild. There is still snow on the mountains and recently crocus in the garden.

Some of the A5s are still around. We recently heard their calls off the entrance to Blackney Pass in Johnstone Strait.

Around 5pm the whales went past Robson Bight and out of range to the east.

A rather late post: Yesterday around 20pm we heard, ever so briefly, A5 calls once again. The event was too short lived for us to locate where they were. Today it has been just typical boat noise punctuated by quieter times.

A little while ago we began to hear the I31s at the top of Blackfish Sound.

After a day break, we are again hearing the A5s in Johnstone Strait. They are not far from the entrance to Blackney Pass. Last night we briefly heard dolphins in the area.

Today we again heard A5 calls in Johnstone Strait. They were first heard off the entrance to Blackney Pass and then a while later off Robson Bight. We believe they went to the east around 1pm.

We thought that the whales might have left as yesterday we got reports of a large group heading out past Alert Bay and Port McNeill between 1 and 2pm. But just now we are again hearing A5 calss in Johnstone Strait. Wet and windy here today.

The I31s have been on a wide circuit today. At times they were spread out from Blackfish Sound to Johnstone Strait in interesting groupings. The last calls we heard were in Johnstone Strait.

Ans now they have joined forces. The A5s and the I31s are travelling together in Johnstone Strait.

The A5s (the A51, A43s confirmed) and the I31 group headed east past Robson Bight a while ago.
