Pelicans, gulls delight during Cortez sailing - News - Starbulletin.com

"SAN CARLOS, Sonora, Mexico � During my monthlong sailing trip in the Sea of Cortez, one of my favorite pastimes was watching seabirds fish.

This didn't require any keen-eyed bird watching. All I had to do was sit in the cockpit.

That's what I was doing one morning in a quiet anchorage called Partida Cove when it began raining pelicans. For about half an hour, dozens of brown pelicans plunged from the air to the water in spectacular crashes, each splash as big and loud as a person falling overboard."
