Joanne,
If you were going out of the southern bay you'd have a chance to maybe see
a Wilson's Storm Petrel - we had one mid-bay on Saturday. That far north
though, you really generally have the same birds as from shore, with maybe
an increased chance for a migrating Black Tern, and possibly more Common
Terns than Forster's, depending on where you are going.
