TRIP REPORT: 24 OCTOBER 2009 HALF MOON BAY

Howdy, Seabirders,

Shearwater Journeys' unscheduled pelagic trip from Half Moon Bay today was, unfortunately, weathered out. A hearty, sold out, boat load of throughly prepared seabirders departed from Huck Finn Sportfishing Center, www.huckfinnsportfishing.com, in Half Moon Bay, attempting to make it to the Continental Shelf. The weather deteriorated rapidly, while the forecast was updated to include winds up to 30 knots. Six miles offshore, we aborted the day. I would like to thank the folks who took a chance, and showed up for this special charter with Captain Dennis Baxter. Our captain did a great job, but sometimes weather conditions make it impossible to conduct a trip.

Please stay tuned for more trips with Captain Baxter on the New Captain Pete in 2010. We look forward to working with him next year!

Shearwaters forever,
Debi Shearwater
