Yeah, me too.
Given the number of trips I've been on I don't get much of a return any
more in terms of ticks per trip, in fact the return has sometimes been
nil. And the prospect of a nil return for the cost of feeling crook all
day just isn't on. That's paying ca $100 per trip to be sick. Not what I
call a reasonable investment thank you. Twitcher though I be, there
have to be some birds I reluctantly will not see, the price is too high.
I guess it's one thing for the hardy types in their grand bravado to wax
lyrical about the great experience of seeing the magnificent birds fly
past ( and I guess it's good luck to them), but would be quite another
if they were to also experience a good dose of mal de mer. They might
then sing a different song and then be less dismissive of those who
suffer. I'd like to see that !
Tony.

I won't go down to the sea again,
To the lonely sea and the sky,
For I've found that on a pelagic trip,
When the sea heaves, so heave I.
