After over a week of heavy marine layer, wet rainy days with poor visabilty, today’s sunshine and 72 degree weather was welcomed.  Erosion from the recent storms damaged a large run off pipe under the road leading to the beach causing it to be blocked off until the repairs are finished. Dolphins frolicked in the late afternoon as the sun was setting, one harbor seal in the surf, several sea lions up on sea lion rock, a dozen or more  cormorants out on bird rock, a flock of sanderlings flitting along the tide line but not a one gray whale in the 3 hrs I observed today!
