After a full day of rain and wind yesterday, today brought sunny skies, light wind, and excellent viewing conditions.
We had the great pleasure of observering whales in the afternoon with two Marine Science Technology classes taught by Melissa Jenkins at Point Arena High School.
The students very quickly became quite good at spotting the blows of migrating gray whales.
We observed:
* 12 northbound gray whales – one group of three and 9 singles; backs were often visible and several whales also fluked much to everyone’s delight!
TOTAL GRAY WHALES SEEN TO DATE (as of November 1, 2024) =
🐋 ❇️ 391 southbound
🐋 ❇️ 123 northbound
