I went out on a pelagic birdwatching boat trip recently. “Pelagic” means we went out into deep water, far from shore, in search of birds that aren’t likely to be seen near shore.
Joy passed this one up, either because it was a work day or because pelagic trips provide prime opportunities for seasickness. As it turned out, the day was calm, but I did start feeling a bit queasy when the skipper cut the engines and let us drift broadside to the swell as we investigated some terns. A good trip, but maybe next time I’ll try a seasickness med.
