Tour at 13:00

Today we headed out from Grindavík because the weather was very bad in Faxaflói. We had some news from capelin-fishers, about humpback whales south of Grindavík. At the beginning of the tour the sun was shining but the wind was quite strong so we had to stay closer to shore than we had planned. After about half an hour of sailing we saw something. It turned out there were some Orcas in the aria and as we came closer there seemed to be many pods around. We saw at least six adult males and their families. At the end of the tour, as we were turning back to the harbour we saw a big male, with him a female and a tiny calf. It was the smallest calf the crew has ever seen. As we turned back to Grindavík, it had started to snow.
