The A12s and the A34s carried on to the west. A Paul and I headed back to Hanson Island in the late afternoon around 5pm the whales were opposite CP and Kaikash Creek area fairly spread out. We continued to hear faint distant calls through boat noise ( a pack of cruise ships and tugs went through Blackney Pass on their way to Johnstone Strait). The calls have been quite intermittent. As far as we know the C6s continued their journey to the east.

Superb sounds!!

We're listening to these wonderful calls, without boat noise, on the Critical Point hydrophone. Sounds like the A1s are back in Robson Bight.
