Madiera Wind Birds Day 3. N15-20 kts 4-8’ swells. Incredible day - multiple Desertas and 3 Zinos in the slick at 1 time. 4-5 Bulwers in view at all times for 3 hours. Skillful spotting and professional boat handling in fairly big swells. Truly one of the best pelagic experiences I’ve had in over 30 years of going offshore.
