Tour at 13:00

We had a nice calm sea this afternoon as we headed out on the bay. We had to sail very far out this afternoon but we were able to spot a couple of Minke whales in one area. The first surfaced very close to the boat a few times but then disappeared and we spotted another Minke whale further away from us. As we headed closer though it was nowhere to be seen. We sailed on and a bit closer to land we spotted one more Minke whale, but it only surfaced once close to us then we couldn't spot it again although we waited for quite a while. It can be quite tricky to spot these wild animals, especially at this time of year when there are fewer around than during the high season (June/July/August).
