We still have about 10 spaces on our annual summer pelagic trip out of
Lewes, DE on Sunday, August 15.  We have increased the trip by 2 hours this
year to spend more time in the prime offshore canyon waters.  The trip is
scheduled to run from 4:00 AM to about 8:00 PM, and the cost is $195 per
person including proper tip for the mates.

We plan to be in Baltimore and Wilmington Canyons at the edge of the
Continental Shelf.  A major target is the WHITE-FACED STORM-PETREL, which
we've found multiple times in these deep canyon waters.  Other target birds
that we've found on past trips include LONG-TAILED JAEGER, LEACH'S
STORM-PETREL, BRIDLED TERN, SOUTH POLAR SKUA, ARCTIC TERN, and even SABINE'S
GULL.  Birds we have seen more commonly include AUDUBON'S, CORY'S, and
GREATER SHEARWATER, WILSON'S STORM-PETREL, POMARINE JAEGER, and RED-NECKED
PHALAROPE.  We'll also be looking for whales, dolphins, sea turtles, and
other creatures.

Our boat is the Thelma Dale IV, a stable 85' boat that we've used often, and
we'll be sailing from Fisherman's Wharf in Lewes, DE..  There is a cabin,
bench, and table space, a full walk-around deck below, a birdable upper
deck, and separate rest room for the ladies.

Note that although fishing is not an important part of the trip, we will
have several lines out for tuna, mahi mahi, or whatever else might show up.


See Life Paulagics is dedicated to provide an appropriate number of
friendly, helpful, and approachable leaders for all of our trips.  We use
radios with headsets to get the word of any sightings around the boat
quickly.  It is important to us to get the participants on the birds and
make sure they are comfortable with the IDs, not just create a big trip
list.

Be sure to check out our web site for information on how to sign up, and to
review our policies.  If you have any questions or need more information,
please feel free to contact us by e-mail or phone.

Hope to see you aboard!
