No calls but orcas nearby

The A30s, who spent the morning off the western end of Blackfish Sound, finally moved on to Johnstone Strait via Weynton Pass. The A12s have not showed up but last night we had the impression that they may have slipped back to the east past robson Bight. The tide is just turning to the flood.

The A30s are calling as they travel eastward.

Orcas near mics.

Starting at 6:40 the A30s moved past Critical Point to the west. They came up as far as the entrance to Blackney Pass before they turned back again.

No orcas present.

The A30s have been hanging out not too far from Robson Bight. The boat noise (this boat is taking forever) has now become quite loud as the boat nears Critical Point. The A30s may have gone around Critical Point to the east.
