We left from Reykjavík harbor. The sun was shining and setting on the horizon. The waves had settled from earlier on today and it was more or less smooth sailing. We saw a few puffins at Lundey, but most of them seemed to be out at sea. Once at sea we saw one if not two minke whales. Because the sea had calmed down it was much easier to see these beautiful creatures as they surfaced and blew from their blow holes.

We left from Reykjavík harbor. The weather was considerably better than this morning and the sun was shining. We saw puffins and northern gannets. Once at sea we followed two minke whales that had been spotted from afar. Eventually one of them swam towards are boat and surfaced several times and once right in front of the boat.

We left from Reykjavík. The weather is sunny, but was is a cold wind and the waves were quite rough. We saw a few puffins at Lundey and continued on our way out to sea. We sailed for awhile and eventually saw a minke whale, but he seemed to be quite elusive. After searching for him again we headed on our way back towards the harbor and on our way back we saw a pair of white beaked dolphins.
