I've added a BTL file containing blank header lines and a unit test explaining a ValueError is thrown when there is a blank line in a BTL files header.
The reason is that the _parse_seabird() method assumes it's done reading if a line doesn't start with a '#' or '*' character. True if the line contains other strings like the column names, but not true if it's just a blank line in the header section.
If it is just a blank line, the _parse_seabird() function doesn't set the metadata['names'] correctly, then back in the read_btl() function when the function checks the metadata['names'].index('Date'), there is no 'Date' element, which causes the ValueError.
