We had bright sunshine today and there was clear distinction between the ocean and the sky. However, at the Point Arena Lighthouse peninsula, the wind was blowing 14 mph and gusting to 20 mph from the south southeast. This did create significant whitecaps and when blows were spotted, they were blown back and disappeared quickly. Many blows seen today were actually quite wet due to the choppiness of the sea. The whales were difficult to track.
