No orcas present. I left you waiting for what was to happen next. Indeed there was splitting of the groups. The A30s and the I15s carried on into Queen Charlotte Strait (at 11:47 they were off Donegal Head and by 12:41pm they were 31/2 miles back of Lizard Point) while the A23s and the A25s (together again) came around the "corner" from Weynton Pass and moved to Double Bay and points east until they came into our view at 11:35am. The A23s were in the lead and the A25s following. They made a straight trip through Blackney mid channel and by 12:11 pm the A23s were off Cracroft Point and in Megan and Shari's view. They turned to the east and headed down the Strait with the A25s soon after. After the A23s approached the Main Rubbing Beach at 2:17pm, the A25s announced their presence in close to Critical Point in Robson Bight at 2:32pm. As the A23s exited the Reserve the A25s passed the Rubbing beach stopping to forage and then continue eastward after their pod mates. OrcaLab 02 Aug 2019 17:33:04 PDT Distant calls audible. So at 8:40am I went to the Lab to do an update of the happenings during the night (it was busy!) but before I could start whales began to pour into Blackney Pass from Johnstone Strait. So let's start there: BY 8:29 CP was reporting A61 and A85 were heading west past the camp and then at 8:30am Megan and Shari could see whales coming west from the Sophia Islands heading west. The Cliff also reported whales heading west. We picked up on A5 calls off the entrance to Blackney as the A5s crossed and continued west toward the western end of Hanson Island. We listened to the I15s and the A30s come closer to the entrance of Blackney and by 9:01am the first group (the I27s) had entered Blackney Pass to head north toward Blackfish Sound. They were soon followed by the I65s. All were carried along on the fast ebb. I122 rushed mid channel to catch up with his group. A short pause saw the A30s and the I4s at the entrance o Blackney Pass. They too got caught up in the ebb and flowed into Blackney Pass all together mid channel. Before 10am all these groups were in Blackfish. We were still hearing A5 calls in Johnstone Strait at 9:43am and were pretty convinced that they were about to head into Weynton Pass. Since then we continued to record calls off of the Flower Island system and from the VHF reports understand that the whales formed a resting line and then may have split with some heading into Queen Charlotte while others began to head east toward Blackney. Enough for now: I will fill in the early morning hours a bit later!  OrcaLab 02 Aug 2019 11:03:24 PDT
