Observation details
Foreign bird had a strong dark cap, clear white neck and breast with a thin, dark bill. Bird was seen circling the (fishing) boat a few times before landing and floating on the water after an earlier storm. GIS was similar in size to a booby, with similar flying pattern (gliding right above the water). When taking flight, bird appeared to walk on water before gliding and taking off. Wings appeared sharper at its tips but unfortunately could not see its under its wings when taking off. Video of bird to be attached for verification.
