On this partly sunny 63 degree day with 65/35 percent visibility due to whispy clouds and heavy marine layer along the horizon blocking the view of both Catalina Island and  Anacapa Channel Islands, one gray whale observed heading south 250 yards out from the pinnacles and another was observed in the surf passing bath house 3 todayin the 2 hrs I observed today. Lifeguard Kyle (a reliable eyewitness) observed 4 gray whales heading south earlier in the day. The road going in to Pt Dume is still closed at Westward but the road repair to the storm drain is nearly finished.
