18 July Orcalab reports:

08:47 PDT No orcas present. Good morning everyone! We've heard no calls since just before midnight, when the A12s were in the vicinity of Robson Bight, possibly westbound, and are not at all sure what happened to them after that. We are waiting.

13:21 PDT No calls but orcas nearby. The A12s and the A36s must have gone out to the west. They were found this morning in Queen Charlotte Strait by the whale watch boats & the researchers near Black Bluff. Currently they are east bound. The A36s are nearing Donegal Head while the A12s are further back just past Lizard Point. They have been asleep but the Naiad Explorer thinks they might be waking up. The humpbacks are in Queen Charlotte as well.

19:43 PDT Distant calls audible. We've been listening to occasional distant calls from the A12s on the Critical Point hydrophone. They are probably in the western part of Johnstone Strait, though visibility is poor and we haven't been able to spot them from CP.

20:14 PDT Distant calls audible. The A12s continue at the beaches.

20:31 PDT Distant calls audible. The A12s may have completed their rub.

22:09 PDT We have not heard from the A12s for a while now.
