01 August Orcalab reports:

No orcas present.

A surprise for us! The a30s just went through Blackney Pass headed for Johnstone Strait. This was our first daytime sighting of this group. They have a small group of Rs with them (perhaps the R2/7 group) and the A24s have come up from the east to greet them. The A24s are past Boat Bay and the other two groups are now past Cracroft Point. Party? Summer?

Multiple pod calls audible.

The A30s and the ?R7s are travelling east in Johnstone Strait and have made acoustic contact with the A24s.

Orcas rubbing on the shore bottom.

The orcas are at the rubbing beach after calling beautifully off Critical Point. The A12s were last reported still in the vicinity of Nodales Channel this evening.

No orcas present.

We believe the A30s, R7s and A24s went off to the east.
