Harbor scenes...

senoritafishDocks this morning were completely quiet. No one was insane enough to fish last night - I know yesterday there were gale warnings and large swells in Santa Barbara and Ventura, enough to keep the first leg of the research cruise I'm going to be helping out with in port.
In San Pedro, the power was completely out near the harbor. Harbor Blvd. was a little scary to drive down because all of the signals were out. The markets had all their doors open and were working inside the buildings, but couldn't have unloaded a boat even if one had come in - no power for the pumps that suck the fish out of the hold. One guy told me I should have stayed in bed.
I went up to Pt. Fermin just to look at the ocean - an older man parked there as well told me he had seen a pair of whales blowing. I scanned for several minutes in hopes that they'd surface again, but no luck. It is the season for grays to be migrating from Mexico back to Alaska, but it's been a long time since I've actually seen any.
