Pelagic Bird Watching Trip to Cordell Bank - October 10th!
This all-day cruise aboard the "New Sea Angler" will be an exploration of
the pelagic zone that lies off the Sonoma and Marin coasts. The Cordell Bank
rises to within a hundred feet of the surface creating a rich zone of
upwelling where nutrient rich waters support a huge variety of seabirds,
marine mammals and other wildlife.

The trip cost is $135. The boat will leave Bodega Bay at 7:30 am and be back
by 4 pm. The trip is limited to 35 people. This trip will only go if at
least 22 people sign up. The captain may choose to cancel the trip if the
winds are too high.

Your guides are David Wimpfheimer, Lisa Hug and possibly one other.
