Celebration of
Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo Day

 Please join the Coast Guard Auxiliary Flotilla 87, our modern light keepers, and the volunteers at Point Cabrillo Light Station for a unique opportunity to visit the lantern room and the beautifully restored operational Third Order Fresnel Lens. These tours are offered only eight days each year.

The Lighthouse Lantern Room and Fresnel Lens Tours will be offered from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. A modest fee, which supports the lighthouse maintenance fund, of $5.00 is appreciated. Children must be at least 42 inches tall to participate in the tours.
For additional information please call 707/937-6122.
 

Excerpts from "Paint Them Red,"
the prose poem by Steve Nilson, 
Site Manager and PCLK board member:
"88 bundles of shingles to paint
88 bundles to move,
Heavy and wet,
You shifted them all,
To air, to dry, to paint.
...
Seven feet of shingles, hot melt glued,
Both sides of a stick used,
Fast to pick up, faster to spray,
Fast to hang drying,
Now we were cooking!
...
Your efforts were great,
Your efforts were effective,
No visitors or their cars were sprayed,
The new fence is still white,
Pretty much worth while, don't you think?
Thank You, Thank You, Thank You"
