9 August Orcalab reports

16:31 PDT No calls but orcas nearby
After the rub the a12s headed out from the beaches fairly quickly to the west. They crossed over to the Cracroft side and are currently of the Boat Bay light at Swaine Point. It looks like they are again choosing to come up the Cracroft shore towrd CP. The naiad and the Lukwa reported that the A36s are in Queen Charlotte Strait near the Penfolds along with an as yet undintified group at Lizard Point.

19:09 PDT Multiple pod calls audible.
Time to catch up. The A12s came up to Blackney in time to meet up with the A36s who came in via Weynton passage. Both groups are now eastbound.

20:04 PDT Orcas near mics.
The A12s and the A36s are nearing the Bight.

20:32 PDT Orcas rubbing on the shore bottom.
Back to the beaches.

21:28 PDT Distant calls audible.
After a beautiful rub by sunset the A36s appeared to head to the east. The A12s didn't make it that far yet and light is fading.
