Boat to Motu Nui Sooty Tern Nesting Islet – Easter Island (Rapa Nui)

We hired a small boat to spot and photograph the marine birds around Motu Nui Islet that is 1.4km off the coast of the main island.  The sea was rough, a heavy swell and the boat was tossed around.  Good job we had ponchos and a dry sack for my camera.  It was a challenged photographing but we did well with 12 species spotted there.
