30 August 2006: Orcalab reports:
Multiple pod calls audible.
A night of surprises! Not only did we hear the A36s accompany the I31s and Rs to the top of Blackfish Sound (they later travelled into Johnstone Strait by themselves via Weynton Pass, we also got to hear the A36s accompany several other groups, including the Hs, into Blackney Pass. However, after just getting part way into the Pass they returned to Blackfish Sound where they are now. Perhaps the strong ebb tide discouraged them from continuing on to the Strait. The tide will turn around 2am. A long night ahead?

Oh boy, still a lot of movement. The A30s,I15s and the R group have come back from the top of Blackfish Sound, travelled through Weynton Pass and headed east in Johnstone Strait. Other groups, the A12s, A5s, I31s and possibly others are following but look like they might come through Blackney Pass. We are waiting. Earlier this morning: the A30s,A11s, I15s, Gs, Rs and I11/I31s passed through Blackney on their way north and west. They were "sort of" following the A36s, Hs and Is who had ventured in as far as Blackney pass before returning to Blackfish Sound and heading out. The A12s, A5s and the rest of the A4s may have stayed Strait side, going to the west and out via Weynton Pass. After sorting themselves out they groups have split and begun travelling as described above.
