Sept.22, 2025 – Returning to the Island

I was giddy to get back to Race Rocks after the weekend away. Greg had warned that the sea lions would be wreaking havoc on the jetty, and that they were along with a fnece breach by the energy building. After some shooing and tightening up of the fence, Greg, Richard, and I got the place in good order once again.

Wildlife Notes

Still many humpbacks on every side of the island (appx 6 close by). Active lunge feeding happening around the North Rocks.

Facility work

No major facility work needed to be done, but we did note that the Fog horn has been acting out of sorts lately. It has been going off even during sunny days with no fog, perhaps the sensor is too sensitive. I will be keeping track and Greg will be in touch with the Coast Guard regarding this.
