27 July 2006, Orcalab reports

No orcas present.

The whales carried on calling off the Ecological Reserve until about 1:30am. Some of the A4s and the A12s followed the very vocal A5s to the east. Three hours later the whales went in for a couple of rubs. We last heard calls there at 5:30am.

No orcas present.

This is a VERY blustery day & difficult conditions for the whale watch boats. The A12s,A11s,A24s, A8s,A51s, and A43 are most likely the whales headed east toward Kelsey Bay. A short while ago they were off St Vicent's Bight (Big Beautiful Bay). In the opposite direction are the A35s who were missing form yesterday's groups. They are coming east through Queen Charlotte Strait approaching Lizard Point.

Orcas near mics.

The A35s came into Johnstone Strait via Weynton Passage. They headed to the Reserve and have passed Critical Point.
