Gannets

The highlight of the pelagic boat trip on the American Princess were the gannets. There were more gannets than I have ever seen in one place in my life. They were tightly packed over a school of fish. The diving took place at the edge of the group of gannets. It was like watching a machine gun firing into the water as one bird dove in rapidly after another. It is amazing how they turned themselves into little torpedoes as they entered the water.
