FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 2026

Another glorious day with excellent visibility at the Point Arena Lighthouse peninsula.  The wind did increase in speed as the day progressed.

🌊 16 humpback whales – three groups of two and ten singles; many full breaches, a tail breach, backs and flukes visible; these  whales were spread out and feeding from north to south along the peninsula from 1/2 mile to 4 miles offshore

🌊 55 harbor seals – in coming tide

🌊 1 sea lion resting on the rocks near, but not with the harbor seals

🌊  thousands  of shearwaters flying just above the surface of the ocean and diving in to catch fish, most likely anchovies; we observed these large feeding groups for several hours
