The Atlantic Princess, with about 25 birders aboard, left the Brooklyn dock at about 10:00 pm Sunday night. At about 12:30 a.m., it slowed and stopped, and at 12:45 it was announced that the boat would return to the dock, due to "mechanical problems." Some passengers were heard to express some doubt.
I believe this pelagic scored another "first": the first New York pelagic to record not a single bird.
