Report from Eldey: What an amazing afternoon trip that we have had. The sailing experience was great, with flat sea or "mirror sea state" and the visibility was extraordinary. Lots of birds were everywhere and a small armada of fishing vessels were enjoying the abundance of fish, especially cod, that we had in the bay. We were searching in our favorite area but unfortunately we couldn't find any cetaceans, showing us how special and unpredictable are this animals some times. We offered complimentary tickets to our passengers so we'll make sure next time is going to be the good one.

Report from Eldey: Some people don't like Mondays but our crew and our passengers are not one of those. We love morning tours! Sea was perfectly calm and flat. It was cloudy, we couldn't see much of landscape but it's was easier for us with that condition to focus on the sea and look for animals. Our first attraction were harbour porpoises. Pod of 4 were swimming along our side for couple minutes and as they stayed close to boat we had good look at them. Further away we found our very first minke whale this year! And it was Humpie, individual seen on our tours since 2011. Amazing to meet with old fellows! Minke was not the easiest to follow as was swimming very fast, but thanks to our passengers involved in pointing and looking for animal we managed to respot it many times. When we run out of the time and were in rush to head back 3-4 white-beaked dolphin appeared close by! We could watch them only from distance but at the end it was great tour with 3 species of cetaceans!
