Change in plans: The Friday October 31 trip will be a half-day (5 hours) trip, as we didn't have enough signups for an all-day. We still expect to find pretty much all the same birds, as Noyo Canyon puts deepwater marine conditions less than an hour from the harbor - as Peter Pyle notes, we spend as much time in deepwater on a half-day as most other trips do on an all-day. Our half-day trips so far this year have produced Short-tailed Albatross, Manx Shearwater, Cocos Booby, Murphy's Petrel, Hawaiian Petrel, and the candidate Herald Petrel (still under review), for example, so they can definitely pay off.
Recreational crab season opens the following day so you could go back out on the same boat and get limits of rockfish and crab!
