Distant calls audible.

The A30s and I15 group headed into Blackfish Sound via Blackney Pass. They were really chatty while they were passing in front of the lab. Now the whales are quiet.

Boat noise

After the last post, the A30s and I15s continued to toggle between Blackfish Sound and Blackney Pass for the next few hours. The last calls we heard were at 6:16am just as two cruise ships went through Blackney Pass.
