Yesterday, I reported that some participants on the pelagic excursion on the Atlantic Princess were skeptical that mechanical problems were the cause of the termination of the cruise. A birder has told me that he heard the crew talking about a problem, concerned about what to do. I apologize for propagating doubt, without evidence. Although the decision to reverse course was disappointing and inconvenienced some participants, it was well considered and justified.
