    The day was quite grey but there was finally barely any wind at sea and just a few long waves. Although we saw 2 harbour porpoises and a pod of 3 white-beaked dolphins in the morning, we decided to offer the passengers complimentary tickets. The afternoon tour, in addition to that, also saw a minke whale and a humpback whale!

    We sailed out this afternoon onto a gloomy bay with moderate swell. After about an hour of sailing we spotted 2 white-beaked dolphins and on the way back we saw 3 harbour porpoises. Ultimately we decided to offer our guests complimentary tickets as both sightings were very short lived.

    This morning we were able to sail out for the first time in a few days hoping to see some marine wildlife. Not too long after leaving the harbour it started to snow. Around this same time we also saw a harbour porpoise, then about 10 white-beaked dolphins before we also got a quick glimpse at a minke whale!

    Due to weather, we were only able to sail at 13:00 today. It was very cold in the bay and we could even see the snow on top of the mountains surrounding the bay. It took us a while before we spotted some fins in the distance which turned out to be a pod of white beaked dolphins

    After a bit of sailing we spotted about 7 white beaked dolphins in the morning, we then noticed a bigger blow a little further out but it wasn't seen again, so we offered complimentary tickets to all passengers. In the afternoon we presumably saw the same pod of white-beaked dolphins and then a minke whale shining in the sun!
