Hi all,

The Beam Reach crew observed J pod mostly resting as they moved slowly 
with the flood tide up Haro Strait this afternoon.  Members of J pod 
(and maybe K pod), led by Granny/J2 are now continuing up Swanson Channel.

Tonight might be an interesting time to listen for them using the VENUS 
hydrophones that are located just off the mouth of the Fraser River at 
about 100 and 170m.  The leaders could be coming through Active Pass 
about now, so listening to the "last hour" data presented here --
http://venus.uvic.ca/data/data-plots/#new-hydrophone --
over the next 6-12 hours could reward you with the first real-time 
detection of SRKW calls using the VENUS hydrophones.  Access is free!

Happy listening,
Scott
