Cherille Cochran photographed this double rainbow north of Anchor Bay.
A lovely sight indeed. We have some rain coming in this afternoon, which is very welcome. This morning we had lots of briny sightings. A pod of 5/6 Killer Whales was seen by many. Three Humpbacks were reported off the Gualala River. Many Gray Whales, most heading north, and lots of CA Sea Lions. What a day!
Thanks to Cherille for allowing me to share her photo with you here.
On Monday a pod of perhaps twenty Killer Whales was spotted off Point Arena. Emails and telephone calls ensued as we tried to photograph the pod. They were several miles out, however, and moving FAST. Dean Schuler got this photograph from The Sea Ranch.
It was fun following them down the coast. Unfortunately for Dean, a fishing boat saw this pod and headed towards them. The pod then dove and disappeared from view.
Though this photo was not taken off the Mendonoma Coast, I thought you'd enjoy seeing this close up that Tom Eckles took from a 12 person inflatable boat in the San Juan Islands. It looks like a male with the very tall dorsal fin and a female with the smaller, curved dorsal fin.
Thanks to Dean and Tom for allowing me to share their photos with you here. To see more of Tom's photography, here's his website: tomeckles.com
