[Phoebetria@xxxxxxx]

We have two spaces left on a small 6-person pelagic trip that would depart 
Rudee Inlet, Virginia Beach, on Tuesday, 4 June 2002.  The cost per person is 
$200 (which is the going rate for these trips: a full-day charter is $1200), 
plus a modest tip for the mate, perhaps $15 per person.  This is a nonprofit 
trip, except for the captain and mate.

The spring migration of seabirds off eastern North Carolina has been strong 
in the past two weeks, with large numbers of shearwaters, a few Manx 
included, all three storm-petrels, Fea's, Bermuda, Herald, and Black-capped 
Petrels, all three jaegers, multiple South Polar Skuas, and both Red-billed 
and White-tailed Tropicbirds.  We would hope to see some of this, and there 
has been some very warm water at the Norfolk Canyon in recent days, which 
might bring in a few Gulf-Stream-associated seabirds.  

If interested, please reply by this afternoon or early evening to

Thanks,
Ned Brinkley
