28 passengers gathered at San Diego's Fisherman's Landing on a sunny, warm Labor Day afternoon, bound for a 5-day pelagic expedition on the 95-foot live-aboard SEARCHER through the Channel Islands, over deep water canyons and along the continental shelf-edge.

Highlights of the Sept 7-11, 2009 trip include a San Diego Craveris Murrelet, an L.A. county Brown Booby, 32 Least Storm-Petrels, 570 Leachs Storm-Petrels, and a spectacular whale show near San Miguel island where 25 Humpback and 5 Blue Whales literally encircled the boat!
