Distant calls audible.The T18/19s, T20/21, T55s & T23s slowly headed east in Johnstone Strait around 4pm. They were very vocal behind the boat noise created by a huge seiner heading east. Jared Towers, of DFO, caught up with these guys at Kaikash. Some fisherman also reported ~13 orca, including 2 males on the top side of Malcolm island earlier today and they were heading this way. Beautiful, sunny and calm day!!

Report: The Mackay's got a report last night about ~ 30 orcas heading east between Christie Pass and Duncan Island. There were only 2 males in the group and a ton of little ones. There were also a lot of tails in the air...wonder who they are???? Leah 04 Apr 2012 09:54:22 PDT

Boat noise There are intermittent transient calls in johnstone Strait somewhere behind the boat noise. 2 tugs with tows are heading south in Blackney, 1 F/V is heading north in Blackney and a tug with tow is heading east off Robson Bight. Heavy vessel traffic over the past couple of days! Leah 04 Apr 2012 22:09:33 PDT
