    We did a charter with Neil on 30 June . It was great trip. We went to Saint Lazaria island to see the unique volcanic island as well as to see various sea birds there including the unique tufted puffins and the rhinoceros auklet. We also saw a raft of sea otters, some sea lions and a couple of Grey Whales close to our boat. Neil was awesome as a guide.
