17 December 2006, Orcalab reports:

Distant calls audible.

We began hearing distant "A" calls (probably A5s) on the Critical Point hydrophone around 8:30pm. The Strait was been very noisy because of the storm as well as boats, but we continued to hear calls until a little after 9pm. We think the orcas were probably headed east but aren't sure. We are waiting.
