Hi all Recently, I wanted to go on a whale watch trip close to home so I checked out some in Halifax. I ended up picking AM Cruises because of my friend Robert Lange who incidently photographed a Manx shearwater on Monday, Sept 5, 2011. That got the ball rolling. Albert and Mary Conrod, the owners of the AM cruises / Eastern Passage confirmed that a pelagic trip can be organized, I contacted David Currie to work together to expediate the negotations with the Conrods. Ian McLaren, David Currie and I have decided to pick Sunday, September 11th and requested a five-hour trip. According to the Conrods, each hour is 150 dollars so that brings up to a total of $ 750. If we get 20 birders registered, then the cost goes down to 45 dollars (tax included) per person. If successful, we can do another one at a later date. We are still working on how to get buckets of chum to attract birds. I know it is a very short notice.... It is come first, first served. We need to know how many by Saturday, Sept 10th. The trip begins on Sunday, Sept. 11, 0800. The return is 1300. We will go 25 kilometres from land, which should bring in good results. There will be seats for people to sit and look around. Good news. NO shark fishing or whale watching. If a sunfish, whale or dolphin comes by, that will be a bonus! Please let us know if you are interested. Please contact me at lizbirder@ymail.com thanks Liz Doull David Currie
