Our dual pelagic trip weekend was a great success! Saturday was a bit breezier and slightly foggy, early. Sunday's glassy seas and blue skies were amazing. The deep water off Perpetua Bank had few birds Saturday, so we looked at the temperature charts and headed WNW Sunday, rather than WSW. We found a couple of black cod fishing vessels, hauling in cages of fish, and attended by a couple dozen albatrosses.
