Albatross

So today was the day we went out on a Pelagic seabird tour. We were 9 hours on the water, 4 of them on a storm anchor in the middle of 1.5 to 2 metre swells. I've left the angle to show it felt on the boat. I am never seasick, but today I was, as were my two phototog friends

Great pic, but a shame you and your friends got seasick.

[Brigette]

🤢 I’d struggle in those conditions too

Big day.. sounds it was a bit rough.. hopefully you got lots of shots to make it worth while..

[Joan Robillard]

Great shot

[Delwyn Barnett]

Oh!! Super shot, but 4 hours on a sea anchor I think anyone would be seasick!!! Great photo of the royal albatross.

[Kerry McCarthy]

Great shot showing the swells. Sorry you were sick, that's an awful feeling. I would have been sick too, just sitting at anchor with big waves.

[Brian]

Great shot. Sorry you were sea sick.

[Joanne Diochon]

Nice capture. Sorry you had to suffer to get it.

[Olwynne]

Superb shot

[Monica]

[LManning (Laura)]

Excellent capture, but I am so sorry. Seasick is one of the worst feelings in the world.

[Rick]

Great capture.

[Christina]

Oh and if you were just 1 day earlier it would have been much calmer. But what a fabulous shot - I hope it was worth it!

@christinav oh it was, and the seasickness has been forgotten already. Its a trip we wont forget in a hurry.

That picture is wonderful but it must have been a tummy churning trip. I’m not a lover if the sea so no idea if I’m sea sick or not…..ferries don’t bother me so I think probably not. I don’t aim to find out!

[Carole G]

@happypat first time for me. Never sick on ferries, (including North Sea ferry to Norway in a gale), yachts, sailing dinghies, friends fishing boat. I have confidently said I don’t get seasick for years. I’ve found out there can be an exception! 5 hours bobbing around in one spot proved to be my Achilles heel 🤢
