31 July 2006, Orcalab reports:

Orcas near mics.

The A4s and the A12s are off Robson Bight after coming south through Blackney Pass around 5:30am this morning and heading east in Johnstone Straitg. Yesterday evening these groups left Johnstone Strait via Weynton Passage on the start of an ebb tide. It is trying to be foggy this morning but the seas are calm.

Most of the activity today has been off the eastern end of Cracroft Island. The whales (A30s and A5s) finallly decided to head back to the west. The A12s and A11s, who had earlier travelled back to the Strait via Blackney, turned back to the west, after reaching the Broken Islands. Their progress has been slow all day as they may have been waiting for the A30s and A5s to catch up. Despite the flooding tide they have all managed to keep moving west and the lead groups are now in the Ecological Reserve.
