Report from Eldey: Today we had quite a mild winter day here in Faxafloi. We got a little bit of everything: sun, wind, rain and a few minutes of hail. Despite good sea conditions and visibility we had to sail a long stretch out in the bay. When we were almost ready to turn back towards our home harbor, we got a radio call from another boat, telling us about a pod of 5-7 white-beaked dolphins. Although this meant an extra hour out at sea, the captain decided to give it a go and sail towards the other boat. And we were not disappointed! This pod of dolphins was in whale watching mood. When we arrived in the area they seemed to be feeding but after a while the surfaced more slowly and in less than 30m to our vessel. Some even swam towards us and especially people standing in the bow of our vessel got a really close look when they approached the vessel.

We are sailing out from the Old Harbour in Reykjavik today. There is an undercurrent in the sea, so the boat will be moving. If you are sensitive to motion sickness we do have seasickness tablets free of charge at the ticket office and all our boats have inside and outside areas and to make the tour even more comfortable we provide warm overalls.
