Well done Barbara. Not many altruists left nowadays eh ? You do provide
a good service, even though a Black Petrel didn't turn up on that trip
of yours I went on.

Not true. I organised the Pelagic trips from Eden for ten years and
never went on one! Nor was I ever the recipient of any payment.
Occasionally I made up the cost for 'missing' passengers. The purpose of
my effort was to provide a service to birdwatchers. This took
considerable time and created much frustration especially with last
minute cancellations due to various reasons, (more noticeable when the
weather forecast was bad) but I derived satisfaction knowing I was
filling a need.
Based on John Leonard's response I guess I fall into a new category - No
3!
