21 September 2006, Orcalab reports:

Distant calls audible.

The A30s have met up with the I31s and or the I11s. The groups are heading east now in Johnstone Strait.

Orcas near mics.

Both the A12s and the I11s are now in Johnstone Strait. The A12s travelled ahead of the I11s and after a brief vocal exchange the I11s followed the A12s through Blackney Pass. We had a report from Spirit of the West that two groups went east past their camp at Boat Bay this morning soon after we lost track of the A30s and the I31 calls in Johnstone Strait so this may have been these two groups.

No orcas present.

We have not heard any calls since just before 3pm. We believe the I11s and the A12s moved off of CP to the east, following the A30s and the I31s.
