Status: RUNNING

We are sailing out from the Old Harbour in Reykjavik today. The forecast predicts wind from the south and we could experience some swells

Report from Elding and Eldey: Dou to high number of passengers we decided to go out on two boats today. the sea conditions were perfect for spotting cetaceans, the only swell we had in the beginning of the tour was a long underswell since two days ago. It was Eldey that spotted a pod of 4-5 white beaked dolphins. Both of the boats got a good look at them. it looked like they might have been feeding and we could detect quite a lot of fish under our boat in that area. after we left the dolphins we hoped to find the humpback whale we saw yesterday but were not able to.
