At the Point Arena Lighthouse peninsula, winds were NW at 6 mph with gusts of 9 mph. It was partly sunny and visibility was quite good.
We observed:
* 14 northbound gray whales -one group of three, two duos, and seven singles;
One member of the group of three breached twice; as we watched this group, we did observe minor courtship behavior (some rolling about) as they slowly drifted north, then one member swam ahead
TOTAL GRAY WHALES SEEN TO DATE (as of November 1, 2024) =
🔆 98 northbound
🔆 391 southbound
