Checklist Comments

eBird pelagic protocol except location plotted at approximate midpoint. Sixth leg away from shore of pelagic trip out of Venice on the Cougar with Capt. John Coulon, and fourth leg in blue water. Went west from endpoint of last segment and then headed back north, where we again encountered the same nice Sargassum line, which had evidently moved south. Nearly calm; less than 1 foot seas; mostly sunny, very hot.
