Performing maintenance

We are experiencing connection problems & are unable to stream live audio at the moment. Please excuse the inconvenience - we'll be back again as soon as possible, hopefully later today. Just now, all the "A1" groups are in Johnstone Strait, along with several G clan groups.

Distant calls audible.

Currently we are listening to the A30s and possibly the A12s as well. Earlier today the A30s left the Strait (around 2:30am) and then returned to the Strait with the A12s,A36s and G clan groups possibly via Weynton Pass. We were experiencing a power outage around the time the whales arrived in the Strait and so can't be sure which route they actually took. Regardless, they continued east past CP and Robson Bight. The A12s and the A30s hung back for a while and the A30s came back to the entrance of Blackney Pass. Since then, and quite recently, the A12s resurfaced. Both groups continue to be vocal in Johnstone Strait.

No calls but orcas nearby

Just a very short while ago we had a largish group of whales silently travel Blackney Pass to Johnstone Strait. We suspect that this was likely the A30s and maybe even the A12s heard earlier heading west in Johnstone Strait. Possibly these whales circled Hanson Island via Weynton & Blackney Passes. Horrible boat noise at the moment as yet another tug travels south through the Pass.
