Tour at 13:00

We had warned out passengers about rough weather out on the bay, but as it turned out the weather was not so bad at all. Soon we spotted some Harbour porpoises but just for few seconds before they disappeared again. Then suddenly a Minke whale surfaced very close to the boat two times before taking a deep dive and we lost it. We saw some dolphins in the distance but it was very difficult to get close to them, and we lost them too. After a while we saw two more Minke whales, behaving the same way as the first one did and at the end, a glimpse of dolphins. Many of the whales today were first spotted by our very enthusiastic passengers and they have our thanks for that. It was also a nice surprise to find not less than three Minke whales, so not all of them have started the journey south.
