Toe did a great job with the boat again today. I only almost fell overboard
twice...


Seriously!


It's a tough job to try and get close enough to the birds for photos. The
seas today were just choppy enough to create a steady bounce as we tried to
catch the Storm Petrels and the Shearwaters.


Thanks for the opportunity to get out and bird and pick up some year birds.
The Audubon's Shearwater was a life bird for me, but it gets an "*" since I
wasn't able to get a photo.



Everyone except Toe picked up a life bird today. Not bad, but next time its his turn.



A few photos from today...
