Greetings again Bay Area -
Our two April trips (see below) are filling but there are still opportunities to sign up. The website is still under construction but we have set up a method in order to sign up. The prices are $125 for the half-day trip on April 26th and $185 for the full day trip on the 27th.
To sign up go to https://noyopelagics.com/times-directions-and-parking/. Scroll down to the bottom of that page and in the small calendar for April click on the 26th for the half-day trip and the 27th for the full day trip.
Once you have made a reservation, it will ask if you want to add any more trips before paying. So if you want to do both days, you can add the second trip and pay all at once.
The Home Page at the above site has the full calendar and the "About our Trips" page is also complete except the list of birds and mammals at the bottom. We hope to have the website fully completed in the next week or so.
Hope to see you that weekend!
Peter
