Tour at 13:00

Report from Hafsúlan: Expectations were high as we sailed along the Reykjanes Peninsula to our humpback spot. A couple of stops on the why for fleeting Harbour Porpoises. The sailing was smooth of the way out but wind picked up later on in the day and the ride back with windy, cold and rocky, some green faces but mostly people were enjoying the ride and the Christmas music. Unfortunately the humpies were not there today, not much food in the area either for them. Lets hope it was just today and that they would be back tomorrow. We offered our passengers complimentary tickets in the hope they will come back with us again for free within the next two years.
