Later in the day we got another report of a group of Orcas heading south near Jesse Falls in Douglas Channel. The report said the group included no males and they saw a total of seven whales. This group turned out to be part of the A4s. They came down Whale Channel travelling close to the Princess Royal shoreline. We saw A52 and her calves for sure but don't have a positive ID on anybody else but think that we had all of the A35s. The whales went past Cetacealab and headed north along the west side of Gil Island.
