Sign-ups are running behind this year as compared to last and we're still short of having enough to go. There have been a number of good alcid reports throughout the Mid-Atlantic. The warmer than usual waters also mean that some species like Puffin and Dovekie that are usually more restricted to further offshore waters are on trips might be in closer. Some years back we have found both species on 8 hour trips in this area in December, when the water temps were similar to what we're seeing now.
If you're interested in going please let us know by the weekend so we know if we can go or have to pull the plug. Hope to see you aboard. -PAG -- *Paul A.
