NORTHERN LIGHTS CRUISE | 21:00

Report from Eldey: With fun tunes and good moods we set sail this evening. There was a forecast of a kp index of 5, which is quite high and gaps in the clouds. However as we sail we were met with a thick layer of low clouds, this is not ideal for finding Northern Lights. We still stayed hopeful as these were low clouds and therefore can easily move. We spotted one star at one point but unfortunately the clouds stayed with us during the tour. As we didn't have any luck with the lights tonight we handed out complimentary tickets so that everyone gets a chance to return for free. On the way be stopped at the IPT as it glowed and brightened up the now foggy night.
