Tour at 13:00
Report from Hafsúlan and Elding: The sailing was very smooth today, there wasn´t much movement in the waves and there was a refreshing light shower of rain. We sailed from Reykjavík, past the islands of Akurey and Engey and out into the bay. The good weather allowed us to sail into more open waters than some days had allowed us. The bird life wasn´t too high, though there were a couple of Northern Gannets and Fulmars flying around us and we sailed through a large flock of Eider ducks at one point. The only marine life that we spotted was 5-6 Harbour Porpoises that unfortunately didn´t stick around to entertain us. As we didn´t see any whales or dolphins on our tour we handed out free complimentary tickets at the end.
