Tour at 13:00
Report from Eldey: The bay transformed into winter wonderland, with beautiful snow cover on the mountains! Of course with snow comes the cold, so our fullbody suits were surely of use today! On our way out exploring Faxafloi, the sea was pretty clam, making the sailing enjoyable. After the first half of our tour, the wind strongly picked up and the trip got a little bit more adventurous. Harsher conditions didn't scare our passengers that remained attentive to the waters surrounding us, and after a patient search we finally spotted a minke whale! We got to see it less than 50 m away from the boat on several opportunities, and in following the whale we even got to see few harbour porpoises. After that it was time to go home, so we headed back, challenged by strong gusts of wind.
