Thank you George, Paul and Mark....and, of course, my 
apologies to Mark.    I think it absolutely incredible that an 
individual could beat out the collective efforts of a VERY active 
group of birders.  I did realize that the pelagic trips were 
important, but your posts show that they are almost essential. 
I still wish there was some way we could convince a tour 
operator or boat to leave from OC just twice a year.  But after 
all the cancellations we have had ( I mean, really, we have 
been cancelled four of the last 5 trips and the trip that went 
was the first!), I can almost understand why someone would 
not want to take the chance economically.  Still, last I looked 
there were some pretty big boats around in both OC and 
Lewes.  Still hoping.......

Fran
