I would be interested in the coordinates.
235 miles SE of Venice is almost certainly within 200 nautical miles of South Pass (assuming Louisiana uses nauticul miles for bird records).
I have several times been over 200 miles from shore and thought I was outside the particular region only to discover I was still in the 200 nautical mile range.
Thanks,
Jim

LABIRD — For those of us who like to fantasize about finding great birds …. I just got an extremely reliable report of a Black-capped Petrel “only" 235 miles SE of Venice. Hey, by Pterodroma standards, that’s getting “close”.
