26 July Orcalab reports:

10:16 PDT No orcas present. Le Caique (Robson Bight Charters out of Kelsey Bay) reported this morning that the whales: probably all of last night's groups; the A12s,A30s,A4s,A43s,A25s & C6s + the A36s and A8s, are quite far to the east in the lower eastern portion of Johnstone Strait and still eastbound.

11:20 PDT No orcas present.The Naiad Explorer (MacKay Whale Watching) reports that there is a group heading west a few miles east of th Ecological Reserve.

11:21 PDT No orcas present.The Naiad now reports that it is the A30s and quite a few others nearing Forward Bay.

12:54 PDT We are listening the A30s and A4s who came back from the east.

13:30 PDT Orcas (may be) approaching cameras.The A30s and A4s are now off CP.

16:44 PDT Distant calls audible.The whales have gone to the north through Weynton pass. They are slowly coming down to Blackney with flooding tide. We are hearing the A30 calls on FI.

20:10 PDT Distant calls audible.We have been hearing the A30s in Blackfish Sound from time to time. They never did come back down through Blackney on the tide.Instead they probably met up with the A35s (and perhaps the A24s as well) after they came through Weynton Pass. The A30s,according to the Lukwa,were off Bold Head and then moved west to Donegal where the young ones from all the groups became involved in a lot of play. One can just imagine the lovely evening scene.
