Tour at 13:00

The sun came out but the wind picked up during lunchtime. Like in the morning we found a really nice group of the shy harbour porpoises. Especially in autumn and in spring time we spot them more often. Its seems that they stay around this time in big groups and are willing to be watched. Later we found the area where the minke whales feeded. Like in the morning they tended to dive long. But one was particularly nice: it came always up to breath somewhere around the boat!

 

Tour at 9:00

Alot of people joined us on a rainy morning, but despite of the rain it was a nice tour. First we spotted a big group of very enjoyable harbour porpoises. Then we found a playful group of white-beaked dolphins and in the end we watched some minke whales. The minke whales were rather a long time diving. Our fishfinder on bord said, there was some fish/food at the bottom, which can be the reason for the behavior of the minke whales.
