NORTHERN LIGHTS CRUISE | 21:00

Report from Eldey: We sailed out into this cold night. Having just come back from holiday in Portugal it was quite the shock but the promise of potential Northern lights made it worth it. The kp index was predicted to be a 3 with some gaps in the clouds. But as we sailed out we noticed the clouds were quite thin and we could see the stars which is a promising sign. As nature is always unpredictable we weren't successful in seeing the aurora tonight so in the ended handed out complimentary tickets. This gives everyone the chance to come again. We still enjoyed the evening filled with hot chocolates, stars and good music.
