Preview textWe started our morning with a cold breeze but sunny skies! As we sailed into the bay we soon came across our resident humpback whales, swimming gently and occasionally showing their fluke in between short dives. In the afternoon we again found our 2 humpback whales, feeding between the Viðey islands amongst birds and at least 2 harbour seals and 3 grey seals!

Tonight we sailed in calm seas under beautiful skies. As we sailed into the darkness we started seeing faint northern lights that soon grew into an arch. They changed in intensity during the night from lighter to stronger but their presence was steady.
