Encounter Summary: 

On the morning of April 20th I got word there were killer whales seen south of Trial Island heading west.

I headed out on Mike 1 to check them out. Zim Zakreski on a BC Whale Tours zodiac had found them and waited for me to get there.

Upon arrival I saw that they were the T099's and T036A's fairly spread out traveling slow. They had turned around and were headed south east on a line for Dungeness.

We were several miles south of Trial Island and had a report from the Clipper that more whales were spotted between the ODAS marker and Hein Bank.

Mick McGregor on Kodiak was able to locate and identify one of 2 groups as the T049A's which were 7 miles to the south east of the T099's and T036A group. When I left to see the 2 groups to the south-east Mark on a Springtide zodiac was with the lead group and the only boat left on scene. He waited for me to arrive and upon arrival I saw that it was the T123's and the T065A's in a tight group a half mile ahead of the T049A's. They were on a south east track for the entrance to Admiralty Inlet moving at 7 knots.

When I left them they had all turned to the north east and were pointed on a line for Smith Island.
