Remarks
We saw a lot of whales today. There were the A30s and I15s, including I41 with his collapsed dorsal fin and the G17s who visiting Johnstone Strait for the first time this year. The different families stayed on their own and didn’t mingle with each other.
There was a lot activity going on. A84 (A50 Clio’s baby) did a lot of breaching and we saw A39 (Pointer) tail slapping.
It was an amazing day. Suddenly some Pacific white sided dolphins show up. With the A11s, and A8s returning from the east and the A12s and I11s coming in from Blackney Pass, the total number of whales were approximately up to 60 individuals.
