Tour at 9:00:
Report from Eldey: We has expected it to be a very windy tour, so the conditions were no actually a positive surprise. It was definitely very windy but the swell was less than we had thought. There were still white caps but with a trained eye, spotting was more than possible. Thus, we had 3 encounters this tour, starting with a pod of 2 white-beaked dolphins. We even recognized one of them as a dolphin we have seen every year since 2011, which was great! However, they weren't interested in being around the boat so we left them after about 10 minutes, once everyone had had a chance to have a good look at them. Further out we encountered our first minke whale of the day. Although it was moving very fast, it did come up numerous times and one of it's surface sequences was rather close by. The second minke we encountered later on got even closer, probably only about 20 m from us. While both encounteres were short, we still got a good look at the animals performing their natural behaviour around us.
