Our trip on April 16 out of Lewes, DE has enough people to go, but we still have
space.  This is an underexplored time of year, and last year we had an
interesting mix of birds including alcids (Razorbill and Common Murre), Sooty
Shearwater, Northern Fulmar, etc.  We were also treated to an amazing Gannet
display, seeing well over 1000 birds, many very close to the boat and diving in
our chum.

As nice as they birds are, we're truly hoping to dig up an albatross and/or
Great Skua at this time of year.  These birds, when reported on the East Coast,
seem to often be with large numbers of Gannets.  At this time of year the
Gannets will be coming up with the large schools of migratory fish.

The trip is scheduled to run from 6:00 AM to about 5:00 PM, and we plan on
visiting both DE and MD pelagic waters.  The cost is $110.

Hope to see you aboard.
