The northbound Holland America ("Eurodam") cruise-ship pelagic from San Diego to Vancouver, April 25-29, produced some 500+ Murphy's Petrels, 7 Hawaiian Petrels, 140 Cook's Petrels, and 20 Laysan Albatrosses. Very windy on April 26, but light winds on April 27, but still crazy numbers of Murphy's both days. These are record high totals for Murphy's, Hawaiians, and Laysans for a single trip. April 26 daylight ran from western Santa Barbara County to southern Marin County (brief). April 27 from northern Humboldt County (brief) and Del Norte County through much of Oregon. This trip, like most of them, runs about 42-53 miles offshore of CA, and slightly less off Oregon, most of the time right along the shelf edge. Photos taken of many of these birds will appear in eBird reports at some point soon. Here is the county breakdown of the (approximate) totals:

26 APRIL
SANTA BARBARA COUNTY: 2 Hawaiians, 2 Murphy's, 1 Laysan
SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY: 1 Hawaiian (continuing), 4 Murphy's, 35 Cook's, 2 Laysans
