16 September 2007, Orcalab reports:

No orcas present.

The A30s were found off of Stimpson Reef (opposite the Adam River) earlier this morning. They have been milling and resting. No word yet on any groups further west. A lovely humpback surprised us this morning. Swimming with sealions the whale came very close into shore in front of our bay. Quite dramatic. On another note: Sadly we said good-bye to Tomoko, Yumi and Momoko this morning. We would like to thank them for all their hard work, willing hands and cheerful friendship. Safe journey back home!

Orcas near mics.

The A30s have rounded Critical Point and into Robson Bight on what sounds like a fishing expedition.

The A30s, just after 7pm, entered Blackney Pass from Johnstone Strait. They travelled north through to Blackfish Sound with one foraging stop along the way.
