Superb sounds!! Today we had a wonderful surprise! The return the A34s, the A23s and the A25s. The excitement started just after 10am when Lisa heard the first A5 (the A23s and A25s) distant calls on Cracroft Point. Most likely they came in via Weynton Passage and as they came east it became clear they were with the A34s. 40 minutes later the groups were approaching the area off the entrance to Blackney Pass. They were moving quickly. We located them mid strait after they had passed Kaikash and were nearing Izumi Rock. Jared came out, picked up Lisa and Bose, and followed the whales east. After 1pm, Jared reported that they went for a rub, possibly both at Strider and the Main beach, after which the A34s turned and went west around 1:46pm. We were able to follow a few west but they were spread out and mid strait. According to Jared, the A23s/25s were looking like they wanted to go east. We have since recently heard the A34s approach the Cracroft Point area. Meanwhile a humpback is providing some background vocals of his own. OrcaLab 18 Nov 2018 20:09:33 PST Orcas near mics.
