No calls but orcas nearby

The internet service in Alert Bay has been down for a while. At 5am this morning we heard A12 calls once again. Again, we were interested in how few calls were being made and wondered if we were just listening to A12 by herself. This turned out to be the case and this morning after heading east to Robson Bight and the beaches, A12 was seen off of the Sophia Islands heading towards CP by Sailcone. A12 then headed into Blackney Pass and past us mid channel. She is now in Blackfish Sound headed west. She has made a few more calls.

No calls but orcas nearby

Just before 8pm there were a few A12 calls in Blackfish Sound. We listened to see if there were blows in Blackney Pass a short while later. There were but it was not possible to track after a tug came hurrying through the Pass. We have not heard any calls since the ones in Blackfish Sound. Possibly things have progressed to Johnstone Strait but we will wait and see.
