4 August Orcalab reports,
09:08 PDT No calls but orcas nearby
We just received a report from the Wardens that there are 3 groups going back and forth near Boat Bay. Currently the whales are moving eastward. This maybe the A30s, A12s, A36s and A8s. 13:05 PDT Multiple pod calls audible.
The whales have moved to the west. They are spread out from Telegraph Cove to the entrance of Weynton Pass. They have not made it easy to make identifications. They are not very vocal now and they are taking long dives while travelling fast. We need them to put on the breaks and turn!
14:38 PDT Distant calls audible.
The A12s and the A36s have turned and are eastbound along the Hanson Island shore. The G1s,I11s and the A30s are continuing west, still travelling fast approaching Alert Bay.
14:50 PDT Orcas (may be) approaching cameras.
The A36s and the A12s are getting closer to the bottom end of Hanson Island. We are filming. I'll send an alert ahead of time. Sorry if you never got the previous alert. I forgot to push the button.
16:38 PDT Superb sounds!!
The A36s and the A12s are in the Bight after travelling east spread out between both shores. The other groups are still westing.
17:40 PDT Orcas rubbing on the shore bottom.
the A12s are at the beaches, the A36s not too far away.
19:32 PDT Distant calls audible.
The A36s are west bound once more and are travelling along the Vancouver Island shore headed toward Kaikash Creek (opposit CP). Its too far to film in the afternoon glare.
20:05 PDT Orcas (may be) approaching cameras.
The A36s "did a little turn and to everyone's satisfaction" are headed toward CP. The A12s are eastbound again opposite the Reserve on the Cracroft side of mid strait.
20:52 PDT No calls but orcas nearby
The A36s have gone off to Blackfish Sound to find the sunset while the A12s continued in the direction of tomorrow's sunrise.
