No orcas present.

We heard no orca calls overnight, though Pacific whitesided doplhins were often vocal within range of our hydrophones.

No calls but orcas nearby

It is the A30s. Yesterday evening they were westbound off Chatham Point (the most eastern corner of Johnstone Strait) at 6pm. That is quite a hike!

The A30s moved up to Cracroft Point, where after a short rest, they have begun to vocalise.

After turning to the east off of Hanson Island's Turn Point at 1:18pm, the A30s went back to the Cracroft Point area to continue their forage.

Multiple pod calls audible.

Just when you feel the day is slow and easy... just one group in the area, busy feeding,relaxed.... when, surprise! Offshores coming from the west. The A30s are getting closer to Critical Point.
