Thanks to the discovery of the Salvin's Albatross by Alvaro Jaramillo and the call placed to Debi Shearwaters' boat and the coordination of all involved, some 50 or so lucky people had a pelagic trip of a lifetime. It was thrilling, to say the least, to hear of the discovery then to learn the bird had flown away, only to be refound. Debi's boat vibrated under speed to reach the location in time, but just in time. Not that long after we arrived did Salvin pick up and fly off. Still the sun peeked out and the swell abated and the albatrosses gathering held together to make this sensational encounter.
