Boat noise

We have been following reports alll morning about the whales coming east from Queen Charlotte Strait. Very briefly we heard the G3s and the Bs. Jim Borrowman of Stubbs Island Whale Watching also heard R clan calls. Since then the fog confounded everyone. The Gs (including the G18s) took the unusal path of rounding Donegal Head and began to go west past Mitchell Bay on the last of the ebb. They have since turned and are headed to Johnstone Strait now. But the Bs and the Rs have been lost. We have not heard anything. The tide is now in flood so we are hoping things will develop.

No orcas present.

The G3s, G18s and G29s were almost toally silent as they made their way the entire length of the upper Johnstone Strait area. They woke up in time to go for a rub around 6:40pm. from the beaches they continued east. We heard an update from the eastern part of Johnstone Strait this evening, thanks to Nick of Painter's Lodge. Apparently, the large group (the A12s,A30s, I11s,I15s, A4s, A5s, possibly the G2s and I31s ended up near Bear Bight. This is almost as far east as the Strait goes. It may be a quiet night up here. Nothing developed from the idea that the Rs and the Bs were in town earlier.
