The Cape Blanco Weather Station Archive 🌤

August was filled with interesting skies and our first ever lighthouse day to help raise awareness of the situation at Cape Blanco. The Side of the Tide Morris Dancers and AURORA danced in front of a scale model of our lighthouse since wind conditions were not conducive to an outdoor live performance.
