Dan,
Here is a quick summary of my pelagic trip out of San Diego waters. We had
some very rough conditions (the reason why there are not many pelagic trips
this time of year) 10-12 foot seas and 40 MPH winds, but it calmed down on
the later couple of days. No, I didnt get seasick even though two-thirds of
the boat did.
Also did some excellant land birding on April 21. If you want details of
landbirds let me know.
