A fairly quiet day with highlights being two Long-tailed Jaegers, at least
six Sooty Terns and a small pod (4-6) of Short-finned Pilot Whales
(identification based on warm water temperatures not on any views of the
pectoral fin). Hal caught a marvellous looking Mahi Mahi (also called
Dolphin Fish). Plenty of birds around most of the day but no major
rarities. Seas on a one metre swell. Generally overcast with light to
moderate winds.
