Visits
- 2026-08-19: First of a series of pelagic trips off the coast of Madeira. We boated offshore in the direction of Porto Santo.
- 2026-08-20: For the 2nd pelagic trip, we headed Southwest from Machico. The ocean was calm, but the sun was quite brutal. We did not see much until a White-faced Storm-petrel showed up. Three people from the first trip didn't show up for part two.
- 2026-08-21: For the 3rd pelagic, we headed Southeast from Machico. There were a lot of annoying waves on the way out, and I ended up soaked.
