Tour at 13:00

Report from Eldey: It had  snowed a lot but fortunately it had cleared up before we sailed out on the bay. The weather was good, almost no wind but there was still high swell out on the bay since the storm yesterday. After about 50 minutes we spotted 2 white beaked dolphins about 600 meters away. At first they were elusive and we had to be patient with them. We lost sights of them for few minutes and when we saw them next time they were 4! After some time two other joined in the group so we had 6 dolphins around us. The sailing was more comfortable on the way back because then we traveled with the swell.
