Thanks for this Andrew.
I plan to use part of my trip to Los Angeles tomorrow to catch up on entering records into the Database.
Can you please add a list of the birders out yesterday?
I think the last two pelagic trips are also missing the participants (and then I can only add the sightings to the one birder who wrote on the Forum....)

Last Friday was of course the 27th.

Previous week to that 20th May

Andrew T, Andrew W, Graham T, Simon L, Mark S, Derrick W, Khalifa, Oscar C, Ahmed,

Reckon that must be all. Don't think the boat had 10.

Shouldn't forget the great Captain Abdullah.

There was also a Saturday 21st Pelagic, but I didn't go on it.

Correction:

Oscar wasn't on the 20th pelagic.
The 9th crew member was a client Simon was guiding.
I think!

[galah]

last member of the crew 27 May was me.
