Tour at 13:00
Report from Eldey: A wet blustery start to our tour today, passengers had a nice wind swept look as they stepped into our exhibition vessel and warmed up with a hot coco and an overall or warm blanket on our whale watching vessel. Lucky for us the forecast lived up to its word with soon cleared upand for a while we sunshine before the hail came in. It was a real Icelandic experinece this afternoon with the varying weather conditions but mostly the boat was cuting through the waves nicely and only rocked at times the swells and waves were hitting the sides. It took us a long time to spot our first species of marine mammal today, a pod of 5 white-beaked dolphins, that were awesome, busy chasing after their lunch and then playing around the vessel. got some close looks at them and one individual looked to have bites taken out of the dorsal fin, maybe from an orca and the flesh wounds looked quite recent. Always interested what you come across out in the bay. On the way home we had pod of 2-3 white-beaked dolphins but they were definitely not in the mood to be around vessels and soon disappeared so we continued our journey home.
