Tour at 13:00

Report from Eldey: Once we got further out in the bay we had some long swells coming in from the west. We slowed down a little bit so the sailing was quite smooth. The wind was in our backs and the sun was setting giving us very good views of the landscape. Searching for cetaceans took us out in the bay and we searched the center and north part of the bay. The closest thing to a sighting was one or two dorsal fins probably belonging to white-beaked dolphins, but only the crew saw them very briefly and then they were gone. We had to return to harbour so we offered all passengers complimentary tickets valid for another whale watching tour with us. We make another try tomorrow in search for whales and dolphins.
