No calls but orcas nearby

A12 did a circuit around hanson Island to re-enter johnstone Strait at 11:47am. She is now east of Cracroft Point headed to the Ecological Reserve. Being the only whale in town she is getting a lot of attention: 1 whale to at least 7 boats!

No orcas present.

A12 carried on to the east from the beaches. This is very similar to her movements for the last couple of days,
