Checklist Comments

Seabirding pelagic trip aboard the Stormy Petrel II, from the shelf break offshore to about 6 or 700 fathoms (3,600 or 4,200 feet) and back inshore to the shelf break. Winds increased a bit while we were offshore, 15-17 mph, and were NNE. Skies went from overcast, to partly cloudy, to sunny. We also saw a pod of at least 15 offshore bottlenose dolphins on this leg.
