Tour at 13:00

Report from Elding: Snow gave us a good welcoming before we departure in our pursuit this afternoon. Our brave passengers stayed in the front line of battle while the weather gave us a harsh time. Nonetheless, the time came past and a more clear and nice weather smiled us. Seabirds were our companions during the trip and we were able to spot an arctic skua doing her best: stealing food from others! In the meantime we were involve in these little battle, a couple of minke whale appeared in front of us. They stayed with us for a while and thanks to our diligent passengers who helped out a lot spotting these magnificent cetaceans while feeding, we enjoyed their presence long time. In the way back, few harbour porpoises cross by in front of the boat as we were reaching the harbour. It was a wonderful whale watching day!
