Hi everyone,
The next pelagic trip off Perth has been scheduled for April 1st this year. We are doing something different this year – this is only the second trip we have run in April, with the last run over a decade ago. The trip has been timed to coincide with the passage of jaegers off Perth, and we will hopefully see Arctic & Pomarine Jaegers close-up, and maybe even a Long-tailed if we’re lucky. We are also hoping that a strong Leeuwin Current may produce something different, like tropical terns and noddies or possibly even something like Red-tailed Tropicbird, in addition to some of the usual species.
The trip will depart from Hillarys Boat Harbour at 7am and return at approximately 3.30pm. As always, these trips are organised on a non-profit basis with the cost of the boat shared equally by all participants. Hence, the cost per person is dependent on the number of people on board – with a full boat (27 people) the cost would be $110 per person, increasing if there are fewer than 27 (e.g. if there are 25 participants, the cost is expected to be $115)
Anyone interested in coming along should contact Alan Collins, either by e-mail at alaninoz@iinet.net.au (preferred) or by phone on 9291 4219 to reserve a place
Cheers, John
