[QUOTE="Dominique Verbelen, post: 1282159, member: 61495"] and in the mean time, we all booked our seat on the ostend pelagic! the 3 previous editions were good for loads of harbour porpoises, 1 bottle-nosed dolphin and 3 pods of white-beaked dolphins leaving the harbour of ostend in the early morning and coming back late the same evening with lots of chum on board of a chartered fish vessel (so very basi as far as accomodation is concerned) but big fun on our own north sea! capacity per trip: 50 persons route determined on the basis of cetecean sightings in the weeks before each trip and on the basis of known hotspots for good bird concentrations the day before departure will be decided if the trip is on or not (based on the wheather forecast); when the trip gets cancelled, everyone gets his/her money back or gets a free place on the next trip february/march are best for white-beakies but given the fact that the trip takes you to the southern part of te north sea, every encounter with a cetecean is highly unpredictable and is always a lucky shot! given the reasonbly low stability of the ship, a scope won 't come in handy (watertight clothes all the more!) organiser of this splendid initiative: jeremy demey (a website on this very small scale 'op' will be launched soon) next trip planned on september 21 (low chances of any ceteceans apart from harbour porpoises but maybe good fun for seabirds coming in on the chum) we 'll keep you posted some pics of one of the previous trips can be seen on [url]http://www.birdimages.be/show_overview.asp?group=B[/url], pages 6, 7 and 8 pelagics are becoming popular, thanx to initiatives like jeremy's! kind regards, dominique [/QUOTE]
