The LAST YEAR — Yes, it is true— after 44 years of offering pelagic trips, I am retiring! The fall season of 2019 will be my last one at sea. I gratefully acknowledge the thousands of birders who have joined me, and the hundreds of leaders who have worked so diligently to bring the marine world alive to so many birders. I hope you will join me this season, the last one .
