Thanks to Chris Sloan for the helpful advice about pelagic birding,
photography, and not throwing up. I spent 2 days this past weekend with Brian
Patteson cruising the gulf stream for birds. We really only had the most
likely birds, but it was an exciting weekend as this was my first real pelagic
trip with 8 life birds. I definitely have a new appreciation for the great
photos Chris has posted as I struggled to even get birds in the frame with them
zipping by the boat, which was bobbing up and down. In fact, many of my shots
turned out to be empty seascapes. I did manage to get a few ID shots by making
it up with volume.

I am looking forward to my next boat trip - Rankin Bottoms by canoe with Mike.
