The Mendocino Whale Festival continued today at the Point Arena Lighthouse. We were honored to be a part of this event and we thoroughly enjoyed helping many visitors learn about whales and search for whales off the peninsula. Although there were not many whales in our area, the enthusiasm for finding them was inspiring! Our visibility was limited by haze.
