See Life Paulagics will be running its annual summer pelagic trip out of
Lewes, DE on Sunday, August 14.  The trip is scheduled to run from 4:00 AM
to about 8:00 PM.  The cost is $195 per person, and this includes an
appropriate tip for the mates.  We expect to visit both Delaware and
Maryland pelagic waters.  For those who are interested, Sandy Hook Bird
Observatory is running a southern Delaware birding weekend on Friday and
Saturday.  More information is available on our web site.

We added 2 hours to this trip last year and it paid off by allowing us to
get out deeper and spend more time offshore.  Two highlight birds seen were
BAND-RUMPED and LEACH'S STORM-PETRELS.  Other targets found on past trips at
this time of year include WHITE-FACED STORM-PETREL, LONG-TAILED JAEGER,
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.  This is also a good time to search for whales, dolphins, sea
turtles, and other creatures and we'll be looking for anything interesting.
We'll also have several lines out for tuna, mahi mahi, or whatever else
might show up.

We'll be aboard the Thelma Dale IV, a stable 85' boat that we've used often.
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.  The boat is
fully Coast Guard approved, with the equipment and experienced people to run
a safe and productive offshore trip, and the captain and crew have always
been professional.  We will be sailing from Fisherman's Wharf in Lewes, DE.


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!
