Tour status: RUNNING

Tour from Eldey & Hafsulan: Finally we could sail for our northern light tour after so many stormy weather that we have suffered during the last weeks. Clear was very clean at the beginning so we could see the start, but as soon as we got closer to one of our main spotting areas, a surprising storm caught us! Snowflakes alternated with hailing, giving us an impression that nature hated us, but we persisted as we knew it was going to be only for a short period bringing us the opportunity to see the northern lights and indeed we did! After a short waiting we started to see a greenish line over the horizon, at the beginning was very shy but at the end we could see a nice performance as it was spliting in two and dancing in the skies. It was a very nice way to be back in the sea enjoying this wonderful phenomena!
